Technology Deals Drive HIG Capital’s Active Investment Strategy
HIG Capital has maintained a robust transaction pace across technology and media sectors while expanding its investment capabilities through strategic team additions and a record $5.9 billion lending fund close.
The firm’s recent acquisition of Kantar Media adds a London-based analytics provider serving over 60 global markets with audience measurement and advertising effectiveness tools. CEO Patrick Béhar highlighted the transaction’s potential to help the company “accelerate innovation on behalf of our clients, partners, and teams around the world.”
Technology investments have characterized much of HIG Capital’s 2025 deal flow. The merger of Converge Technology Solutions and Mainline Information Systems created Pellera Technologies, a company generating approximately $4 billion in annual revenue through cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, and artificial intelligence specializations.
Additional technology acquisitions included Quisitive Technology Solutions, focused on Microsoft ecosystem services, and GetixHealth, which provides revenue cycle management to healthcare organizations. These transactions underscore the firm’s focus on companies delivering critical digital infrastructure and data analytics solutions.
The deal activity supports HIG Capital’s broader platform expansion. The firm recently closed H.I.G. WhiteHorse Middle Market Lending Fund IV at $5.9 billion, its largest fundraising effort for the direct lending division. The fund continues the strategy of providing senior secured loans to companies with EBITDA between $30 million and $100 million.
HIG Capital has also entered the secondaries market by recruiting four professionals from Morgan Stanley to launch a GP Solutions Platform targeting continuation vehicles and GP-led transactions. Dan Wieder leads the initiative as Managing Director, supported by a team with nearly five decades of combined secondaries experience.
Founded in 1993, HIG Capital operates from 19 offices across multiple continents and manages $70 billion across diverse investment strategies. The firm has invested in more than 400 companies since inception, with current portfolio holdings generating combined revenues exceeding $53 billion. Recent achievements demonstrate the firm’s ability to execute across multiple investment strategies simultaneously.
