H.I.G. Capital completes sale of ECI to Wind Point
Summary: H.I.G. Capital announced that it completed the sale of portfolio company ECI to Wind Point Partners. The release describes ECI as an enterprise technology services provider for alternative-investment and regulated financial-services clients.
Why it matters: The update may matter to due-diligence readers as a source-attributed portfolio-company exit signal for H.I.G., while it should not be read as evidence of fund returns, valuation, realization quality, client demand, or investment merit.
Summary
H.I.G. Capital announced on August 4, 2026 that it completed the sale of portfolio company ECI to Wind Point Partners. H.I.G.’s release describes ECI as a provider of managed IT, cybersecurity, governance, risk and compliance, and AI services for alternative-investment and regulated financial-services clients.
The source also says Baird and Guggenheim Partners acted as financial advisors to H.I.G. and ECI, and that King & Spalding served as legal counsel. This article treats those details as H.I.G.-attributed transaction facts, not as independent evidence of transaction economics, valuation, fund performance, client demand, or investment merit.
Why it matters
For due-diligence readers, a completed portfolio-company sale is a useful public signal about a manager’s transaction activity and portfolio realization cadence. It can help readers track how H.I.G. describes activity in business services, technology services, cybersecurity, and regulated financial-services support businesses.
The signal is bounded. H.I.G.’s announcement supports the existence and status of the sale, the named buyer, the company description, and the named advisors, but it does not establish deal terms, fund-level returns, valuation, customer outcomes, or whether the transaction should affect any investment decision.
Source notes
- H.I.G. primary announcement: https://hig.com/news/h-i-g-capital-completes-the-sale-of-eci/
- Source posture: primary manager announcement with accessible body-level support.
- Verifier support: cleared for drafting with high manager-identity confidence and no same-event local duplicate found for ECI / Wind Point.
- Editorial caveat: keep managed IT, cybersecurity, GRC, AI services, adviser/counsel roles, and company-description details attributed to H.I.G.; avoid implying 9AT validation of ECI’s operating quality or any transaction outcome.
9AT filing context
Public filing/profile context reviewed by 9AT maps H.I.G. Capital, LLC to a Miami registered-adviser platform associated with hig.com, CRD 160711 and SEC file 801-74338. The reviewed context summarized about $72.3 billion in reported ADV regulatory AUM/profile scale, about $74.9 billion in total private-fund gross asset value across 232 private funds, 1,039 employees, 533 advisory employees, separately managed account activity, and a latest profile submission date of March 31, 2026.
That context is broad platform identity support only. It should not be used to identify the ECI seller vehicle, buyer financing source, transaction beneficiaries, returns, valuation, realization quality, or client demand. H.I.G.’s 13F and Form 5500 footprints are not useful to this private portfolio-company sale and are intentionally omitted as substantive evidence.
What to watch
Watch for H.I.G., Wind Point, ECI, regulatory, or adviser materials that add public detail on closing mechanics, ownership transition, management continuity, future acquisitions, or any source-supported operational changes at ECI. Future coverage should stay tied to fresh public sources and should not infer transaction economics or fund performance from the sale announcement alone.
