Leading private markets investment management firm Hamilton Lane announced the launch of the two new evergreen funds, offering expanded access to private market infrastructure investments to accredited investors around the world.
The Hamilton Lane Global Private Infrastructure Fund (“HLGPI”) is available to qualified investors, including high-net-worth (“HNW”) investors and their wealth advisors in EMEA, Australia, Canada, Latin America and Southeast Asia.
The Hamilton Lane Private Infrastructure Fund (“HLPIF”) is a continuously offered closed-end investment vehicle registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“40 Act”) and is available to U.S. clients, including HNW investors and their wealth advisors.
HLGPI and HLPIF are total return strategies, targeting both capital appreciation and income, designed to provide exposure to an institutional-quality, global portfolio of infrastructure assets through a single investment. With a focus on identifying and capturing strategic opportunities in the infrastructure space, including direct co-investment and secondary investments, the Funds aim to deliver attractive returns and downside protection, paired with liquidity in the form of monthly or quarterly redemptions.
The Funds’ diversified portfolios focus on core plus and value add infrastructure assets that share the traditional characteristics of infrastructure, including high barriers to entry and durable cash flows through contracted revenue streams, as well as the potential for inflation-hedging qualities, competitive total returns with potential downside protection, income yield and portfolio diversification. Both HLGPI and HLPIF seek to capitalize on unique opportunities across the power, transportation, data and telecommunications, environmental and energy sectors.
Brent Burnett, Head of Infrastructure and Real Assets, commented, “We are thrilled to announce the launch of HLGPI and HLPIF. Infrastructure is one of the fastest-growing asset classes in the private markets, underpinned by the fundamentally infrastructure-enabled themes of energy transition and the continued rollout of AI which we believe will continue to create investment opportunities for years to come. Hamilton Lane is one of the largest investors in private infrastructure globally on a discretionary and supervisory basis, and the Funds aim to build on the success of our broader platform by offering unique access and expertise across infrastructure sectors, asset types and geographies to private wealth and institutional investors around the world.”
For more than 24 years, Hamilton Lane has been designing infrastructure-focused separate account mandates (SMAs) aimed at delivering attractive performance relative to benchmarks for clients of all sizes around the world. These new vehicles are an extension of Hamilton Lane’s broader infrastructure platform, which the firm has been building since 2000 and which includes closed-end funds and SMAs totaling nearly $72 billion in assets under management and supervision as of June 30, 2024.
Steve Brennan, Head of Private Wealth Solutions, added,”Since the launch of our Evergreen Platform in 2019, we have steadily expanded upon our commitment to enable access for a broader set of investors to the private markets. Today, with the additions of HLPIF and HLGPI, our Evergreen Platform now includes five funds across multiple strategies, serving hundreds of investors around the world and with a net asset value of approximately $8.1 billion*.”
