The Miami-based investment firm is strategically expanding its portfolio across the digital transformation of healthcare, the e-commerce supply chain, and the growing market for boomer travel. Their April moves reveal a carefully considered approach rather than a random series of bets.
In a busy week of dealmaking, H.I.G. Capital—the $68 billion alternative investment firm that operates largely under the radar—executed three strategic plays that provide insight into where some investors are placing their bets in 2025’s increasingly complex global economy.
First up: healthcare’s back-office revolution. On April 7, H.I.G. acquired a stake in GetixHealth, a revenue cycle management company that’s helping streamline the financial infrastructure for America’s often-fragmented healthcare system. It’s not the flashy side of health tech that usually grabs headlines, but GetixHealth’s digital solutions for patient billing, insurance claims, and regulatory compliance represent the less visible but critical innovation that supports trillion-dollar industries.
“The complex reimbursement environment and evolving regulatory landscape” are driving healthcare providers to seek out sophisticated tech solutions, explained GetixHealth CEO Kevin Lonergan, indicating that this investment reflects not only current capabilities but also preparation for an increasingly intricate healthcare financial ecosystem.
Just 48 hours later, H.I.G. revealed its European credit arm was backing Riviera Travel with a substantial £125 million five-year unitranche term loan. This focuses on the over-60s market, offering 170 unique itineraries across 45+ countries. The silver economy is expanding, and H.I.G. appears to recognize significant potential in this demographic.
The demographic trends here are notable: as boomers enter retirement with considerable wealth and longevity, companies that can deliver high-quality, higher-margin experiences may be well-positioned to capture substantial value. Riviera has spent four decades refining this formula, and H.I.G.’s financing suggests confidence in its potential for digital transformation and market expansion.
Completing the trifecta on April 9, H.I.G. acquired a strategic French logistics portfolio spanning Paris and Lyon—50,000 square meters of well-located real estate positioned to address e-commerce’s last-mile delivery challenge. These aren’t just warehouses; they’re key nodes in the physical infrastructure that supports digital consumption.
“Last-mile logistics remains a highly resilient asset class, particularly in supply-constrained markets,” noted Jérôme Fouillé, Managing Director at H.I.G. Realty. In other words, as e-commerce continues growing steadily, the most valuable resource isn’t cloud computing or mobile apps but physical space close enough to urban centers to enable same-day delivery.
What makes H.I.G.’s approach particularly interesting is how these apparently unrelated investments reflect a consistent thesis about the future: aging demographics contributing to healthcare complexity and specialized consumer demands, digital commerce requiring advanced physical infrastructure, and the rising importance of tech-enabled solutions to navigate complex regulatory environments.
Since its 1993 founding, H.I.G. has built a portfolio spanning more than 400 companies, with its current holdings generating combined sales exceeding $53 billion. While venture capital often dominates headlines, firms like H.I.G. are steadily reshaping the infrastructure of the global economy, one strategic acquisition at a time.
