3rd April 2023 | Singapore
Hamilton Lane, a leading private markets investment manager with $832 billion AUM (Assets under Management) has formed a partnership with Southeast Asia alternative assets marketplace Alta to provide investors with access to Hamilton Lane Evergreen Private Markets fund, providing investors with low investment minimum (instead of the typical minimum of $5 million or $10 million) and with monthly or quarterly liquidity. Hamilton Lane Evergreen strategies are designed to provide private markets access with a single allocation, monthly or quarterly limited liquidity, low investment minimums. Hamilton Lane: “Hamilton Lane recently released its 2023 Market Overview report, in which it noted that private markets continued to outperform public markets in 2022, beating public strategies across the board. It also noted that areas including private credit, secondaries and infrastructure would present compelling opportunities in the year ahead.” Alta Exchange: “As Southeast Asia’s largest marketplace for alternative assets, Alta strives to bring greater accessibility and liquidity to alternative investments. In 2022, Alta acquired digital securities exchange AltaX (formerly Hg Exchange), bringing its private capital markets, fund management, and exchange businesses under one roof. With this, Alta brings a wide range of curated investment opportunities with companies like Grab, Gojek, and in luxury assets, fixed-income products, funds and other alternative assets.”

Kelvin Lee, Co-founder and CEO of Alta: “As a leading marketplace for alternative assets in the region, we are well positioned to help actualize Hamilton Lane’s focus on partnering with and adopting transformational solutions such as our own. We are committed to bringing a virtuous cycle of private capital growth to the market. We strive to establish a sustainable marketplace with curated alternative investment opportunities to foster increased accessibility and liquidity across the region. Our partnership with Hamilton Lane further strengthens this commitment.”
Victor Jung, Head of Digital Assets at Hamilton Lane: “The partnership with Alta reemphasizes Hamilton Lane’s continued global commitment to enable access to the historically strong returns and performance opportunities generated within the private markets space for a newer set of investors – especially through the use of tokenization. There is a lot of excitement behind this regional partnership and the opportunity to attract a broader set of investors throughout Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia.”
Kerrine Koh, Head of Southeast Asia at Hamilton Lane: “With the dovetailing trends of increasing demand for the benefits of safety, security and yield that private credit strategies can provide, as well as the growing investor demand for different and more flexible private markets structures, this partnership with Alta comes at an opportune time.”
Hamilton Lane’s Senior Credit Opportunities Fund (SCOPE)
Launched in 2022, SCOPE is a senior private credit fund intended for investors seeking safety and yield. The Fund is structured as an evergreen vehicle, which generally allows for monthly subscriptions and monthly liquidity with a lower investment minimum relative to traditional closed- end structures. As an all-weather Fund, SCOPE seeks to generate consistency of performance and cash yield through up and down markets.
SCOPE had been available previously to qualified investors — including certain high-net-worth (“HNW”) investors and their wealth advisors — in Canada, EMEA, Australia, Latin America and Southeast Asia. Through the partnership, Hamilton Lane’s SCOPE offering will be available for the first time to a new pool of investors within Southeast Asia. The strategy seeks to provide downside protection and yield by targeting floating-rate, senior secured loans in the middle market, which are typically in the safest part of a company’s capital structure. Additionally, SCOPE typically invests in privately-held, market-leading assets situated in historically recession-resilient sectors backed by leading general partners in their areas of expertise.
