H.I.G. Capital

Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Miami, H.I.G. Capital is a global alternative investment firm focused on the mid-cap and middle-market segments. It invests across private equity, growth equity, direct lending, special situations credit, real estate, infrastructure, and growth-stage healthcare.

H.I.G. typically partners with management teams, entrepreneurs, and founders across a range of business situations, including growth investments, buyouts, carve-outs, restructurings, and credit financings. Its platform combines investment teams with operating, strategic, technology, and financial-management expertise.

The firm is especially notable for its breadth across alternative-asset strategies and its operational approach to value creation in mid-sized businesses. For students, that means exposure can extend beyond traditional buyout investing into private credit, real assets, healthcare, and portfolio-company operations.
