HBG typically takes a minority stake in companies with agreements to assume a managerial and board level role. HBG’s ‘invest and build’ approach is based on a commitment to create long term growth and profitability in partnership with a company’s existing management. Growth is driven through vertical and horizontal integration and acquisitions. This is supported by regional expansion to capitalize on the enormous opportunities of the fast emerging markets of MENASA and select Far Eastern economies.  

Exit strategies are identified in the initial investment phase and HBG look to use their investor network as well as their experience in managing companies to exploit the value created. While its investment cycles are often longer than industry norms, HBG consciously endorses a measured approach to generate consistent and sustained shareholder returns.
