Hamilton Lane Launches First Asia-Focused Private Markets Evergreen Offering

Hong Kong – Leading private markets investment firm Hamilton Lane (Nasdaq: HLNE) today announced the launch of its Asia Private Assets Fund (“HLAPA” or “the Fund”)³, a pioneering semi-liquid vehicle that aims to provide private wealth and institutional investors with diversified access to Asia’s private markets landscape. 

HLAPA seeks to provide investors with diversified, attractive return exposure to Asia’s private markets, focusing on private equity through direct investments and secondaries. By leveraging Hamilton Lane’s more than 15 years of experience investing across Asia, as well as the firm’s extensive regional network and established, flexible evergreen structure, the Fund aims to capitalize on Asia’s macroeconomic tailwinds and deliver quality risk-adjusted returns. Key features of the Fund include: 

• A flexible portfolio construction, allowing it to adapt to market dynamics and designed to optimize risk-adjusted returns across innovative growth investments and mature buyout deals; 
• Access to investments alongside top-tier fund managers across Asia, including deep relationships with what Hamilton Lane believes are premiere GPs across Australia, Japan, Korea, India, Southeast Asia and China; 
• An open-ended, flexible structure that provides immediate capital deployment without capital calls, along with lower minimum investments compared to traditional drawdown funds, monthly subscriptions and the potential for limited quarterly liquidity subject to the Fund’s terms and conditions. 

Collwyn Tan, Co-Head of Asia Investments commented: "Asia drives 60% of global GDP growth, much of it through a vibrant private sector, yet most private market products focus on broad global and U.S. exposure and offer limited access to Asia. HLAPA is a pioneering offering that seeks to provide wealth professionals and investors of all sizes with seamless, diversified access to Asia’s compelling private asset landscape." 

"Hamilton Lane has been a global leader when it comes to expanding private market access for investors, and we are excited to announce the launch of HLAPA, a Fund that aims to provide investors with access to Asia’s private market potential—from tech and growth investments to mature buyout deals. HLAPA's open-ended structure and the potential for liquidity create a compelling opportunity for investors to access high-quality private assets without the constraints of traditional drawdown funds,” SungJi Steve An, Head of Client Solutions APAC, added. 

The Hamilton Lane Asia Private Assets Fund is the latest addition to the firm’s broader $11 billion AUM² Evergreen Platform, which first launched in 2019 and today includes nine funds across multiple strategies.
