Hispania Capital Partners (HCP) is a private equity firm established in February 2003 as a Small Business Investment Company (SBIC). HCP was established to provide growth capital for outstanding Hispanic executives and other senior managers serving the U.S. Hispanic market. These investments are expected to have transaction values between $20 million and $200 million and will be made in established companies in our targeted industry segments. The principals of Hispania Capital Partners have more than 40 years of combined relevant experience in private equity, operations and investment banking. No other Hispanic-focused private equity firms with comparable market penetration, capabilities or geographic scope exist in the marketplace.

With a population exceeding 35 million, Hispanic Americans constitute the largest immigrant community in the nation’s history. As a result of continuing immigration inflows and higher birth rates, the Hispanic population in the United States is growing at a rate of eight times the national average. Today, the estimated $452 billion combined purchasing power of Hispanic Americans is larger than the purchasing power of any other Spanish-speaking country in Latin America.

Many companies providing goods and services to the United States Hispanic market are privately held and for the most part family-owned. While operating in rapidly growing markets, these companies are often undercapitalized and lack the resources necessary to realize their potential. The rapidly growing group of Hispanic executives with proven track records represents an important pool of intellectual and entrepreneurial capital and, consequently, a source of investment opportunities.
