HMI Capital, a concentrated equity-focused manager, is committed to long-term investments in 8-12 high-quality businesses. With a strategy focused on deep research to understand business trajectories over several years, HMI Capital needed a research solution that could provide extensive insights and support its rigorous approach.
HMI Capital's investment strategy demands in-depth research to forecast the trajectory of businesses over three, five, or even ten years. Prior to Tegus, expert calls were the single biggest line item in their research budget, but they lacked an efficient way to access and leverage these insights. Without a library of expert transcripts, the team had to start from scratch with each new company, leading to time-consuming and costly research processes. The lack of a centralized resource made it difficult to maintain updated insights on portfolio companies, ultimately slowing down decision-making and limiting efficiency.
Tegus transformed HMI Capital's research process by providing a vast library of high-quality expert call transcripts, financial models, management checks, and more—all within a single platform. With Tegus, HMI Capital could quickly get up to speed on industries and companies, significantly reducing the time and costs associated with initial research. The platform also provided ongoing access to the latest expert insights, giving HMI Capital the tools to monitor their portfolio companies in real-time.
Moreover, Tegus’ continuous evolution and strategic acquisitions have consistently added more value to HMI Capital’s research capabilities. The platform's ability to adapt and expand its offerings has made it an increasingly indispensable asset for the firm.

Financially, the consolidation of research tools into Tegus’ all-in-one platform has optimized HMI Capital’s research budget, allowing them to allocate resources more effectively. The partnership with Tegus has empowered HMI Capital to maintain its commitment to deep, long-term research while operating with greater efficiency and insight.
In summary, Tegus has provided HMI Capital with a transformative research solution that enhances their ability to conduct in-depth analysis, reduces costs, and continuously adds value through ongoing product evolution.
