Why we think this is good
The partial exit of Trackunit represents a positive development for HgCapital Trust. The transaction values HGT's investment at £53.4 million, providing an uplift of £2.8 million (6%) over the carrying value. This realization not only adds to HGT's liquid resources but also allows for continued exposure to Trackunit's growth potential. The reinvestment by Hg alongside Goldman Sachs Alternatives indicates confidence in Trackunit's future prospects. While the impact is relatively modest in the context of HGT's overall portfolio, it demonstrates the trust's ability to create and realize value from its investments.
