Funds Managed by Hamilton Lane Invest in IMM Infra 8th Private Equity Fund

SEOUL, South Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- IMM Investment and leading global private markets firm Hamilton Lane (Nasdaq: HLNE) announced today that funds managed by Hamilton Lane have invested through a secondary transaction in the IMM Infra 8th Private Equity Fund.

The deal, completed as of March 31, 2025, involves the acquisition of existing Limited Partner interests. This transaction represents the first infrastructure-focused secondary deal in Asia for IMM Investment and highlights growing institutional interest in Korean-originated infrastructure assets. It also underscores IMM Investment’s ability to attract global capital through differentiated, high-performing platforms.

The IMM Infra 8th Private Equity Fund is a core-plus and value-added infrastructure vehicle, offering exposure to a diverse portfolio across Korea’s energy, mobility, digital, and social infrastructure sectors.

“This transaction speaks to the institutional strength of our infrastructure platform and the increasing confidence global investors have in Korea as a long-term infrastructure market,” said Jin Heum Paek, CEO of IMM Investment Singapore. “We are excited to welcome Hamilton Lane as an investor. Their global perspective and deep secondaries expertise will enhance our ability to manage and scale high-quality assets while continuing to deliver value to both existing and new investors.”

Brent Burnett, Head of Infrastructure and Real Assets at Hamilton Lane, commented, “We believe there is a vast opportunity set in the infrastructure secondaries market, which is poised for continued expansion amidst increased secondaries adoption and growth in infrastructure AUM globally. Our investment in the IMM Infra 8th Private Equity Fund underscores Hamilton Lane's ongoing commitment to identifying unique opportunities in the infrastructure space, and we look forward to leveraging our global platform to support the continued growth and success of this fund."

Through this partnership, IMM Investment will continue to actively manage the fund’s portfolio with a hands-on, value-creation approach, leveraging its sector expertise and in-market operational knowledge. Hamilton Lane, in turn, brings global secondaries capabilities, cross-border reach and institutional due diligence expertise—reinforcing shared alignment in governance, long-term investment outlook, and responsible ownership practices.

This deal also marks an important step in IMM Investment’s continued evolution from a Korea-focused asset manager to a regional platform with growing international reach. Launched in 2023, IMM Investment Singapore serves as the firm’s overseas fundraising and strategic partnership hub. By connecting global capital with Korean-originated opportunities, IMM Investment Singapore is expected to continue playing a key role in enabling cross-border investments in infrastructure and other alternative asset classes.
