These co-investments allow institutional investors to directly invest in specific companies or projects, potentially providing enhanced returns and increased control.
3. Secondary Investments: The company also facilitates secondary transactions, which involve buying or selling existing limited partnership interests in private equity funds. This enables investors to enter or exit investments in a more flexible manner, allowing for liquidity and portfolio management.
Hamilton Lane leverages its extensive industry expertise, deep networks, and proprietary research to identify attractive investment opportunities and manage risk effectively. The company's team of investment professionals conducts thorough due diligence on funds, co-investments, and secondary transactions to ensure alignment with clients' investment objectives and risk tolerance.
