Hamilton Lane closes infrastructure fund after exceeding target
Hamilton Lane, one of the world’s largest private markets investment firms, has announced the final close of its Infrastructure Opportunities Fund II (IOF II) after securing nearly $2 billion in total commitments, including $400 million in related vehicles.
The Nasdaq-listed giant which manages $1 trillion in assets said the new fund was now more than three times the size of its predecessor, IOF I, as it exceeded the target of $1.25 billion.
Global Head of Infrastructure and Real Assets at Hamilton Lane, Brent Burnett said the successful close of IOF II marked a significant milestone for the firm’s infrastructure platform.
“The megatrends shaping the global economy – including digitisation and AI, power delivery, supply chain optimisation, and resource efficiency – are fundamentally underpinned by infrastructure,” he said.
“We believe these structural trends create a target-rich landscape for our global mid-market strategy, and we will continue to leverage our access and information advantages to find compelling opportunities for our investors.”
According to the firm, IOF II attracted more than 30 new limited partners worldwide compared to the previous fund, with notable growth across Asia and the Middle East.
“Due to strong support from Limited Partners across the globe, the Fund surpassed its original target by ~20%,” the firm stated.
“Infrastructure remains a critical component of private markets portfolios, and IOF II is designed to seek differentiated access and strong performance for Hamilton Lane’s clients, building on the firm’s proven strategy.”
It’s infrastructure platform today includes nearly 200 GP relationships and represents more than $87 billion in assets under management (AUM) and supervision as of September 30 last year.
Hamilton Lane has said IOF II has already committed about 40% of its capital across 14 investments, spanning a mix of GP-led and LP secondary transactions and non-control direct positions.
