Hamilton Lane Launches New Evergreen Fund for U.S. Investors

On May 6, 2025, Hamilton Lane, a prominent player in the private market investment landscape, announced the introduction of its latest offering: the Hamilton Lane Venture Capital and Growth Fund (HLVCG). This initiative signifies a bold step forward in expanding the firm's already extensive evergreen platform, which boasts an impressive asset management total of over $10 billion.

Access to High-Quality Investments

The HLVCG is designed specifically for accredited investors in the U.S., which includes high-net-worth individuals and institutional clients. This new fund is structured under the Investment Company Act of 1940, allowing for continuous offering, and is uniquely positioned to leverage Hamilton Lane's vast expertise in the realm of private markets and venture capital.

Investors can expect to gain exposure to innovative companies and disruptive technologies that are often outside the reach of the public markets. A diverse approach to the fund’s investments encompasses various transaction types, managers, strategies, and geographies, thereby enhancing the potential for attractive returns.

Innovative Investment Strategy

According to Miguel Luiña, Co-Head of Venture and Growth Equity at Hamilton Lane, the HLVCG has been crafted to provide investors access to a high-quality portfolio of high-growth technology companies.

The fund aims to tackle the typical barriers that hinder investors from accessing promising opportunities in the market, such as upfront capital deployment and liquidity options that are flexible. With Hamilton Lane's reputation for identifying top-tier managers and their successful track record, investors can feel more at ease with entrusting their funds to this initiative.

A Commitment to Broader Access
