As a family office, HFI offers many advantages to its partners, including a non-bureaucratic infrastructure, flexible decision-making process, and long-term investment horizons. With significant financial resources and liquidity, HFI can often expedite transactions without the need for external financing and can structure investments to meet a wide range of operational or personal requirements.

HFI leverages the experience and expertise of its founder, Kenneth A. Hersh, who, over 25 years as the co-founder and former CEO of NGP, invested and managed more than $20 billion of capital. HFI’s other partners contribute 60+ years of combined experience in managing and deploying capital into real estate investments and operating companies in a variety of industries. Over the last 20 years, this team has committed more than $1.0 billion across 275+ investments.

Utilizing a “buy and build” mindset, our investment style includes both organic growth as well as selective acquisition strategies. HFI’s principals are experienced private equity investors and operators having been involved in a wide range of successful growth businesses across diverse industries. Our patient approach coupled with the HFI team’s unique background and experience can assist operating partners with:

• Refining the business strategy and performance objectives.

• Identifying, monitoring, and improving key performance metrics.

• Analyzing acquisitions, divestitures, and major capital projects.

• Accessing well regarded external resources utilizing our extensive contacts and relationships.

• Make introductions within HFI’s network for potential growth opportunities.

Most importantly, HFI executives have a unique appreciation for the challenges of building a business and the benefits of like-minded partners who support and foster those objectives. By providing our operating partners with the resources necessary to grow and the alignment of incentives, we can achieve our mutual long-term objectives. We never forget that our success is fundamentally based on the success of our operating partners and believe that core philosophy should permeate everything we do at HFI.
