Hg sees the continued growth of software and technology as still just the early stages of a multi-decade trend. Combining ever-increasing performance, productivity and automation, this industry will make our work lives richer and more fulfilling for years to come.
The short-term fluctuations of economies are not to be ignored but we are confident that the sectors in which we invest will provide organic growth for the long-term.
By every measure, 2022 saw Hg continuing to build in scale and ambition as our long-term view is born out.
