Hamilton Lane expands private markets access via iCapital

Hamilton Lane has expanded its partnership with iCapital, giving wealth managers worldwide access to its evergreen private equity, secondaries, infrastructure and venture capital strategies through the iCapital Marketplace.

iCapital Marketplace connects a broad network of wealth managers, including private banks, independent financial advisors and family offices, with private markets opportunities through a single access point. The platform combines a fully digitised investment lifecycle, with tools supporting portfolio construction and analytics, enhanced by the recent addition of Architect. It also provides access to due diligence and research reports, as well as comprehensive educational resources, to support informed investment decisions and enhance the client experience and advisor experience.

The expanded collaboration builds on the firms’ existing partnership in the US, where Hamilton Lane’s strategies are available to iCapital investors. It advances Hamilton Lane’s global wealth strategy, broadening reach and streamlining access to many of the firm’s institutional-quality private markets evergreen structures. A range of Hamilton Lane’s private market strategies, spanning private equity, credit, secondaries, infrastructure, and venture capital, will be available to iCapital users across multiple geographies globally.

“Hamilton Lane’s evergreen platform leverages decades of experience, global scale and deep relationships to deliver a range of solutions for investors seeking private markets access. Through our multi-manager approach and disciplined portfolio construction, we seek to provide diversified exposure in an investor-friendly format,” said Sungji Steve An, head of client solutions, Asia Pacific at Hamilton Lane.

“Our partnership with a leading firm like Hamilton Lane reflects the growing demand from global wealth managers for diversified private market evergreen strategies delivered through a scalable, integrated platform,” said Jocelyn Pidoux, head of asset manager solutions, EMEA at iCapital. “By bringing these strategies to iCapital Marketplace, we are supporting broader participation in institutional-quality private market investments across the global wealth channel.”

The collaboration reinforces iCapital’s position as a preferred platform partner for alternative asset managers seeking to engage with the private wealth ecosystem. By combining the strength of Hamilton Lane’s evergreen platform with iCapital’s global distribution network and digital technology platform, the collaboration aims to further expand access to private market opportunities for wealth managers and their clients worldwide.
