Hamilton Lane declared a quarterly dividend of $0.54 per Class A share, payable January 7, 2026, to holders of record on December 19, 2025, and reiterated a target full‑year dividend of $2.16, a 10% increase versus the prior fiscal year. The firm reports total assets under management and supervision of $1.0 trillion, comprised of $145.4 billion in discretionary assets and $859.8 billion in non‑discretionary assets as of September 30, 2025.

The business mechanism is straightforward: the company is distributing cash to shareholders via an increased dividend while highlighting scale in private markets through its reported AUM figures. Key dependencies and risks noted in the release include reliance on distributions from its interest in Hamilton Lane Advisors, L.L.C., exposure to market and client funding behavior, and other enumerated operational and regulatory risks; these items directly constrain the company’s ability to sustain dividend levels. Concrete items to watch over the next quarter include the company’s detailed presentation and the webcast held on November 4, 2025, any reported changes to distributions from Hamilton Lane Advisors, L.L.C., and subsequent quarterly statements that confirm whether the targeted full‑year dividend of $2.16 remains supported by operating cash flow.
