We are first and foremost an investor in our own strategies. We suggest no investment to our co-investors unless HMC’s or its affiliates’ capital is also committed. We believe that fact alone is the best measure of our confidence in our ability to source, close, develop and exit transactions profitably.

HMC’s Investment Philosophy

We make investment decisions only after methodical assessment, with an instinctive bent toward bold moves tempered by common sense, experience and, most of all, discipline. We invest in a variety of asset classes to build a portfolio with a composition that we believe balances risk and return.

Core Tenets

1. Fundamental research drives our entrepreneurial approach to investing in both private and public markets, and has done so for over 20 years.
2. Our disciplined approach to managing downside risk is critical to preservation of capital.
3. Our institutional-quality operational infrastructure provides our clients with the appropriate level of transparency across all strategies.
4. We maintain true alignment with our clients through the substantial commitment of HMC partner capital; on equal terms and conditions as all our clients.

Real Estate

HMC entered the European real estate market in 1998 when it managed an affiliate’s participation in one of the first large real estate privatization transactions in Sweden.

To date, HMC or its affiliates have successfully completed over $2 billion of transactions in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, Ireland, Poland and Scandinavia.

HMC’s European real estate investment team seeks to identify opportunities across sectors and jurisdictions which exhibit high-quality cash flows, locations and structural integrity. Typically pursuing investments between €20 million and €100 million, the team looks for properties where value can be added by injecting both capital and development or operational expertise.
