Hg & CUBE

Our role

Investec advised Hg, a leading investor in European and transatlantic software and services businesses on its significant investment in CUBE, a global leader in Automated Regulatory Intelligence (ARI) and Regulatory Change Management (RCM) technology.

The strategic partnership will see Hg invest alongside CUBE’s founder and CEO, Ben Richmond, and marks a pivotal step in CUBE’s mission to create an industry defining regulatory compliance and risk platform.

Investec has previously supported CUBE with a Private Capital-led debt facility as well as advising CUBE on its growth equity investment, CUBE’s first institutional raise.

Through Investec’s Private Equity relationships, led by its Sponsor Coverage team, alongside its Technology sector expertise, it was able to support Hg on its strategic investment in CUBE.

“We have got to know Investec over many years: they are deep in RegTech and this landmark transaction shows once again how the team can be instrumental in connecting founders with specialist investors in this exciting space.”
