MIAMI , Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — H.I.G. Capital (“H.I.G.”), a leading global alternative investment firm with $70 billion of capital under management, is pleased to announce the launch of its GP Solutions Platform. The launch marks a strategic expansion of the firm’s capabilities and reinforces its commitment to the attractive and underserved middle market. Purpose-built to provide tailored liquidity and strategic capital, the platform will leverage H.I.G.’s 32-year track record of delivering flexible and diverse solutions in the middle market.
H.I.G. has recruited a seasoned team from Morgan Stanley Private Equity. The team will join H.I.G. later this year to lead H.I.G.’s secondaries fund. Led by Managing Director Dan Wieder, and joined by Managing Director Yash Gupta and Principals Austin Gerber and Joe Holleran, the team brings decades of collective experience and a consistent record of value creation and attractive returns. Their deep expertise will be instrumental in building a differentiated platform focused on GP-Led transactions, an area of rapid growth driven by increased demand for private equity liquidity solutions.
“We are thrilled to welcome Dan and this seasoned team to H.I.G.,” said Rick Rosen, Co-President of H.I.G. Capital. “Their collective expertise, proven investment acumen, and entrepreneurial mindset are highly complementary to our platform. We believe our secondaries effort will be an exciting and scalable business over the coming years, which aligns seamlessly with our middle market, value-add investment strategy.”
The fund will focus on executing secondary transactions, providing investors with access to high quality, seasoned assets and shorter durations compared to traditional primary funds. It will primarily target GP-Led opportunities across geographies, sectors, and strategies, benefiting from H.I.G.’s extensive investment resources, including H.I.G.’s middle market origination network and disciplined underwriting capabilities. H.I.G. aims to deliver attractive, risk- adjusted returns by leveraging its global platform, proven operational expertise and deep sector knowledge.
