H.I.G. Capital

History

H.I.G. Capital was founded in 1993 by Sami Mnaymneh and Tony Tamer, both of whom previously held senior positions at The Blackstone Group and Bain & Company. The company remains under their directorship. In 2006, the company expanded to its first affiliate office in Europe, which is known as H.I.G. Europe.

In 2021, the company acquired Interpath, a restructuring company spun out of KPMG, for £380 million.

in January 2026, H.I.G announced it had sold Interpath to Bridgepoint Group in a deal which valued the company at £800 million.

Additionally, H.I.G. also manages a publicly traded business development corporation (BDC), WhiteHorse Finance.

H.I.G.’s real estate funds invest in value-added properties, which can benefit from improved asset management practices. Its Infrastructure funds focus on making value-add and core plus investments in the infrastructure sector.
