Hamilton Lane’s proactive manager selection process is based on 15 years of industry experience and knowledge. Our due diligence approach is continually refined and enhanced with the goal of successfully identifying and selecting superior investment opportunities. Our due diligence process is multi-tiered and places significant emphasis on those elements of risk and financial analysis that distinguish this asset class from other asset classes.

All investment opportunities are reviewed and acted upon by our experienced Investment Committee at each stage of the review process. Our process is a mix of rigorous, quantitative analysis and substantive, qualitative review. We look for experienced management teams that demonstrate an ability to articulate and execute a stated strategy and offer potential for superior results. Hamilton Lane’s investment professionals review hundreds of investment opportunities each year. These include primary fund investments, secondary fund investments, and direct co-investments that come to us or that we pro-actively source on behalf of our clients.

Our proprietary technology enables our investment professionals to better evaluate potential managers. This process enables our clients to gain access to high-performing, well-researched opportunities, while simultaneously developing long-lasting relationships with general partners.
