The direct equity fund closed above its predecessor’s $2.1 billion and drew commitments from public pensions, sovereign wealth funds, union pensions, endowments, foundations, and family offices.
Hamilton Lane said Hamilton Lane Equity Opportunities Fund VI closed with $3.8 billion, above the prior fund’s $2.1 billion. The raise extends the firm’s direct equity strategy in middle-market buyouts and drew commitments from a broad institutional base including public pensions, sovereign wealth funds, union pensions, endowments, foundations, and family offices. Bloomberg also noted Hamilton Lane’s recent blockchain-related activity, including a March investment in on-chain platform Republic and about $9 million in its HLSCOPE fund on Polygon.
