Investment to Propel Company's Global Reach

Middle market private equity firm HGGC is expected to announce an acquisition of a European automated marketing software company called Selligent for an undisclosed sum, two people familiar with the matter said on Friday.

The men whose names were once on prominent display at HGGC may no longer work there. But the private equity firm has still managed to raise a second investment fund without them.
