New benchmarks from Hamilton Lane provide advisors with trusted data to evaluate private markets strategies and allocations
CHICAGO and CONSHOHOCKEN, PA —YCharts, a leading investment research and client engagement platform, today announced the introduction of benchmark data from leading global private markets investment firm Hamilton Lane (Nasdaq: HLNE). The addition brings new visibility into private markets, helping financial advisors benchmark private fund performance, evaluate portfolio diversification and explain the role of private markets in client strategies.
With private markets playing an increasingly important role in client portfolios, advisors need a new set of tools to assess private investments with the same clarity and rigor they apply to public markets. Having Hamilton Lane benchmarks easily accessible within YCharts helps to deliver standardized metrics and insights built on decades of private markets performance data. The benchmarks also support advisors who use proxy tickers or model portfolios to represent private market exposures, providing more relevant points of comparison for investment analysis.
“YCharts is focused on helping advisors make more informed, confident decisions for their clients,” said Caleb Eplett, Chief Product Officer at YCharts. “With the addition of Hamilton Lane benchmarks, we’re giving advisors the context they need to understand and explain private markets investments within client portfolios.”
Hamilton Lane’s benchmarks are built from proprietary fund- and deal-level data sourced from Limited Partner cash flows globally, and are designed to equip industry professionals with premium data to better evaluate and compare performance. Coverage includes private equity, private credit and private real assets, with transparency across strategies, vintage years and geographies. These benchmarks are used by institutions, general partners, financial advisors and researchers to measure performance and identify trends.
“We are excited to partner with YCharts to make our proprietary private markets benchmark data more accessible to financial advisors,” said Griff Norville, Head of Technology Solutions at Hamilton Lane. “This collaboration underscores our commitment to delivering transparent and data-driven insights, while advancing investor education across the private markets landscape. As interest from financial advisors and wealth professionals continues to grow, we see this as a meaningful step toward broadening access to the private markets.”
The Hamilton Lane benchmarks are now available to YCharts Professional license users. This release represents the first phase of a broader initiative to expand alternative investment data on the platform, supporting advisors who manage increasingly diversified client portfolios.
