Hamilton Lane: global evergreen fund for venture capital + growth

London (UK) — Hamil­ton Lane laun­ches global ever­green fund for venture capi­tal and growth. The fund provi­des access to inno­va­tive private venture and growth invest­ments. Private markets invest­ment mana­ger Hamil­ton Lane (Nasdaq: HLNE) has laun­ched the Hamil­ton Lane Global Venture Capi­tal and Growth Fund (“HLGVG” or “the Fund”) — an ever­green invest­ment vehicle focu­sed on growth and venture oppor­tu­ni­ties in private markets. 

The Fund is open to certain retail inves­tors and their advi­sers and insti­tu­tio­nal inves­tors in parts of Europe, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East as well as Austra­lia, New Zealand and Canada that are not available in public markets.

HLGVG provi­des inves­tors with access to Hamil­ton Lane’s global venture capi­tal invest­ment plat­form, which aims to deli­ver strong perfor­mance by inves­t­ing in disrup­tive tech­no­lo­gies and inno­va­tive compa­nies. The fund lever­a­ges Hamil­ton Lane’s exten­sive exper­tise in private markets co-inves­t­­ments and secon­dary market tran­sac­tions to unlock attrac­tive deal flows. As an ever­green vehicle, the port­fo­lio is diver­si­fied across vinta­ges, tran­sac­tion types, mana­gers, stra­te­gies and geographies. 

With a focus on inno­va­tion, diver­si­fi­ca­tion and assets other­wise only available to insti­tu­tio­nal inves­tors, the fund aims to over­come common barriers to entry in this dyna­mic segment. It follows the launch of the Hamil­ton Lane Venture-Ever­­­green fund in the US earlier this year. The fund lever­a­ges Hamil­ton Lane’s proprie­tary data, tech­no­logy and AI to support decis­­ion-making and opera­tio­nal excel­lence. Hamil­ton Lane’s track record in the digi­tal trans­for­ma­tion of the indus­try — now bund­led into the HL Inno­va­tions initia­tive — includes stra­te­gic capi­tal invest­ments in trans­for­ma­tive invest­ment tech­no­lo­gies and the deve­lo­p­ment of the proprie­tary Cobalt platform. 

Matthew Pellini, Co-Head of Venture Capi­tal and Growth Equity at Hamil­ton Lane, comm­ents: “As compa­nies are incre­asingly stay­ing in private hands for longer, many of the most attrac­tive invest­ment oppor­tu­ni­ties today are found exclu­si­vely in the private markets — a signi­fi­cant part of which is the venture and growth sector. HLGV­G’s port­fo­lio lever­a­ges disrup­tive inno­va­tion in estab­lished and emer­ging market segments to better posi­tion and respond more quickly to new tech­no­lo­gi­cal deve­lo­p­ments, such as Arti­fi­cial Intel­li­gence, which is curr­ently driving a wave of growth in tech­no­logy companies.”

Ralph Aerni, Member of the Manage­ment Board of Hamil­ton Lane Germany and Head of Client Solu­ti­ons EMEA, adds: “Since the launch of our first ever­green fund in 2019, we have conti­nuously expan­ded the global invest­ment oppor­tu­ni­ties for our inves­tors. We are convin­ced that these struc­tures play an incre­asingly important role in the port­fo­lios of many discer­ning inves­tors. With the launch of HLGVG, one of the few venture-orien­­ted ever­green products world­wide, we are enab­ling our clients to parti­ci­pate in the most diffi­­cult-to-access part of the private markets.”

Hamil­ton Lane has been active in venture capi­tal and growth equity for almost three deca­des. In this segment, the firm has $117.8 billion in assets under manage­ment and super­vi­si­on², has 260 estab­lished part­ner­ships and has made more than 370 invest­ments. HLGVG lever­a­ges Hamil­ton Lane’s exten­sive expe­ri­ence to provide access to attrac­tive venture capi­tal and growth equity market opportunities. 

HLGVG is the latest addi­tion to Hamil­ton Lane’s USD 13 billion-plus Ever­green Plat­form (as of 31.07.2025)
