Insights
Hamilton Lane expands its $10B+ evergreen platform with new venture capital fund, broadening product offerings and investor access to private markets.
Hamilton Lane's launch of the Venture Capital and Growth Fund represents a strategic expansion of its investment offerings. This new vehicle joins the firm's substantial $10+ billion AUM evergreen platform, targeting accredited U.S. investors including high-net-worth individuals and institutions.
The evergreen structure is particularly noteworthy as it allows for continuous capital offering without a fixed fund size limitation. This structure provides flexibility for both the firm and investors, with the press release highlighting "flexible liquidity options" – addressing one of the primary barriers to private market investments.
The fund's design focuses on three key differentiators: upfront capital deployment, flexible liquidity, and access to opportunities alongside managers Hamilton Lane considers top-tier. This positions the offering to overcome traditional barriers to entry in private venture investing.
From a business perspective, this launch aligns with the industry trend toward democratizing access to private markets. By targeting accredited investors, Hamilton Lane is expanding beyond traditional institutional clients. The firm brings substantial experience to this effort, citing 260+ established relationships and 370+ investments in the venture and growth equity space.
Hamilton Lane's total $117.8 billion in assets under management and supervision provides a strong foundation for this initiative. The firm's established infrastructure and existing relationships in the venture capital ecosystem should support implementation of this new offering.
New fund leverages Hamilton Lane's venture expertise to give accredited investors access to diversified private growth investments typically unavailable in public markets.
Hamilton Lane's venture fund launch addresses a persistent market challenge: limited access to high-growth private companies for individual investors. As companies increasingly stay private longer, a significant portion of value creation occurs before public market investors can participate.
The fund's structure incorporates multiple diversification dimensions: vintage year, transaction type, manager, strategy, and geography. This multi-layered approach helps mitigate the inherent risks in venture investing, where returns typically follow power law distributions.
Hamilton Lane's approach leverages its co-investment and secondaries expertise to access deal flow. This is significant as these transaction types can provide opportunities to invest at potentially favorable terms compared to primary fund investments. The secondary market in particular has grown substantially in recent years.
The fund targets companies developing "disruptive technologies" – a broad category that typically includes transformative innovations. This focus aligns with sectors showing robust growth potential.
Miguel Luiña's comment about producing an "asymmetric return profile" is particularly revealing about the investment approach. This suggests a strategy focused on downside protection while maintaining exposure to significant upside potential – a challenging but desirable combination in venture investing where failure rates are traditionally high.

With a focus on innovation, diversification and institutional-quality assets, the Fund seeks to address common barriers to entry in this dynamic space. It aims to provide investors with upfront capital deployment, flexible liquidity options and exposure to curated opportunities alongside what Hamilton Lane believes are top-tier managers.
Miguel Luiña, Co-Head of Venture and Growth Equity at Hamilton Lane, commented: "With the launch of the HLVCG, we're excited to open the door for a broader set of investors to access this high-quality portfolio of innovative, high-growth technology companies that are out of reach in the public markets. Our VC strategy is designed to produce an asymmetric return profile that may limit losses and capture the attractive upside potential that venture and growth equity investments seek to provide."

IMPORTANT RISK INFORMATION ABOUT HLVCG:
Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Hamilton Lane Venture Capital and Growth Fund before investing. The prospectus and, if available, the summary prospectus contain this and other information about the Fund. You may obtain a prospectus and, if available, a summary prospectus by downloading the prospectus or by calling 1 (888) 882-8212. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.
The Fund operates as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Shares are speculative and illiquid securities involving substantial risk of loss.
The Fund has a limited operating history. The shares have no history of public trading and are not listed on any securities exchange, and it is not anticipated that a secondary market for Shares will develop.
Shares are subject to substantial restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold except as permitted under the Agreement and Declaration of Trust. An investment in the Fund is generally subject to market risk, including the loss of the entire principal amount invested. An investment in the Fund represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Fund. Shares are appropriate only for those investors who can tolerate a high degree of risk and do not require a liquid investment and for whom an investment in the Fund does not constitute a complete investment program and should be viewed as a long-term investment.
The Fund may engage in the use of leverage, hedging, and other speculative investment practices that may accelerate losses.
Although the Fund is allocated across sectors and asset classes, it is a non-diversified fund and subject to risks associated with concentrated investments in a specific industry or sector and therefore may be subject to greater volatility than a more diversified investment.
Certain investments in the Fund are illiquid making it difficult to sell these securities and possibly requiring the Fund to sell at an unfavorable time or price. The value of certain Fund investments, in particular non-traded investment vehicles, will be difficult to determine and the valuations provided will likely vary from the amounts the Fund would receive upon sale or disposition of its investments.
Some of the companies in which venture capital funds invest, directly or indirectly, will not perform as expected. Business risks may be more significant in smaller Portfolio Funds or those that are embarking on a build-up or operating turnaround strategy.
There are no limitations imposed by Hamilton Lane Advisors, LLC. as to the amount of Fund assets that may be invested in any one issuer in the technology sector. Accordingly, the Fund's investment portfolio may at times be significantly concentrated, both as to managers, industry and individual companies. Such concentration could offer a greater potential for capital appreciation as well as increased risk of loss. Such concentration may also be expected to increase the volatility of the Fund's investment portfolio. The Fund's concentration in these investments may present more risks than if it were more broadly diversified over numerous industries and sectors of the economy.
Early-stage companies may never obtain necessary financing, may rely on untested business plans, may not be successful in developing markets for their products or services, and may remain an insignificant part of their industry, and as such may never be profitable. Stocks of early-stage companies may be less liquid, privately traded and more volatile and speculative than the securities of larger companies.
For a complete description of the Fund's principal investment risks, please refer to the prospectus.
Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.
