Talk:Hg (equity firm)

Requsted updates to entry

My name is Tom, and I work for Hg, so am declaring my conflict of interest and requesting some updates to the entry, all of which supersede outdated information. Specifically, I wanted to suggest the following updates:

• Could the quantum of funds under management be changed to “$55B”
• Could the number of employees be changed to “close to 300” and the number of offices be changed to “five”, adding “Paris, France” and “San Francisco, US”
• Could the first sentence in the investments section be changed to read “Hg is invested in around 50 companies across Europe and North America, and has invested in over 170 companies since its inception.”

All of these updates can be sourced to this article from Growth Cap Advisory, a third-party trade commentator well-known in our industry.

Many thanks for considering my request.

 Not done for now: I don't believe GCA is a reliable, independent source. Happy to be corrected, though. PK650 (talk) 04:06, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for responding so swiftly PK650!

If it helps, this information was also published today in an article by a private equity publication, PE Hub.

It is also stated in the “Interim Report & Accounts” for HgCapital Trust plc - an Investment Trust within the FTSE250, which is publishes report & accounts as part of its disclosure practices as a listing on the London Stock Exchange
