Delivering strong returns for our investors

Companies across a wide range of sectors.
Consistently remained committed to the mid-market.
We believe companies of this size offer the highest potential returns, as they are small enough to grow fast but have sufficient scale to employ high-quality management teams and generate diversified revenues.

Wealth of Experience
HNI is constantly looking for opportunities to partner with ambitious.
As we typically only make three or four investments a year, backing the right management teams has been key to our success. We review large numbers of opportunities and prioritise those where we can build a strong relationship with management and where we see angles to add value.
We have made more than 100 investments since the early 1990s.
The relative attractiveness of different sectors will ebb and flow with economic cycles and changes in technology, consumer preferences, distribution methods and government policy. Equally, the key requirements for a successful investment will evolve.
Consumer
We have extensive experience of working with a wide range of multi-channel retail and consumer companies. Their products and services have included everything from fashion, health and beauty, stationery, books, electronics and computer games to automotive products.
Industrials
We have been particularly active in the engineering, energy, automotive and building products sectors. We have invested in many manufacturing businesses, but also in companies providing industrial services.
Leisure & Property
In the leisure sector HNI has focused on restaurants, pubs, travel and accommodation. We have generated strong returns from the roll-out of innovative and high-quality consumer offerings, building on our extensive experience of developing expansion strategies and of evaluating new sites.
We're backing companies across a broad spectrum of markets.
Many of our current investments are actively looking for acquisitions to complement their organic growth strategies.
