Investment thesis
Hay Wain is a single-family office that invests flexibly across the capital structure, focusing on later-stage UK private equity and debt opportunities, with additional activity in public securities and property. Direct investments include lower mid-market buyouts and growth capital (typically up to £10m, EBITDA under £5m, control or minority positions, sector and situation agnostic), private credit (ABL, mezzanine, property and bridging loans up to £10m, asset-backed, up to 24 months), and UK real estate with hands-on asset management. It also funds specialist investment platforms it has founded and selectively backs early-stage mission-driven businesses with social, educational, well-being or healthcare benefits.
