H.I.G. Whitehorse  Finance

  • Note on BDC - this is only a piece of Whitehorse as a whole ($MM), and numbers are much smaller.
  • $547 investment portfolio / 53 companies / Average Debt Investment Size $8.8 / Largest Investment $23). Open 10K, press END button, and scroll up - you'll see a list of the Portfolio Investments, Interest rate, company, Principal, etc.

LP/Presentation  - give's good overview (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001552198/000110465920092430/t…)

10K (tv537551-10k - none - 42.5436258s (sec.gov))

Whitehorse can hold $100-120 if they like the deal and the pricing is right. They like to have "control" - not as interested in small tickets of $5 to good deals. They want to be in the front row. Some examples:

Comvest

AB Private Credit

Maranon

  • good too. Can hold significant size too.
  • Debt - $200 max hold (EBITDA Min $3) - RC/1L/2L/Unitranche/Delayed Draw TL
  • Mezz - up to $50 max hold
  • Equity - up to $30 max hold (I see a bunch of Mezz + Equity Co-invest deals)
 

I appreciate that! I'm creating some premium quality materials to go into the Primer as we speak, as new ideas flow in. People are pressuring me to just "launch it, then edit/modify/add-to existing materials later", but I have to weigh that against the importance of reputation. creating a premier product, that is super-focused on certainty that any user - even high-schoolers, will conceptualize and understand the job from beginning to end, and see significant value. Goal is a product that prepares you "Day 1" for pretty much the job responsibilities throughout the life cycle of a deal. Goal is to be the "go-to" source for Lev Fin, Direct Lending, and eventually Restructuring (just outlined & started a mini-primer - need to speak to someone in the industry soon to get feedback). It's data-intensive (as opposed to existing primers that are general-speaking, broad-based), and takes time, but it's moving along.  Any ideas or suggestions you have, hit me up.

 

Anyone have any more recent thoughts on HIG Whitehorse? Looks like they’ve had a pretty large amount of turnover. Wondering how the culture is and how people generally like working there.

 

Have a close friend that works there. Tough hours due to multiple reasons: a - they've been growing AUM pretty quickly so associates get staffed across 3-4 deals at a time; b - generally target hairier companies requiring more diligence; c - due to b, diligence process is more intensive than a lot of similar-sized shops (i.e. lots of data analysis, intensive memos that are more PE-like than typical PC). Friend told me that culture, in general, is positive and there is a push to hire more junior resources to reduce the workload but this is how it stands at the moment. 

 

just a general combination of shit pay, shit hours and bad culture, that's my reference from the Miami office though, but that may have changed (usually doesn't lol)
