Private markets investment management firm Hamilton Lane enters a partnership with Alta to expand across Southeast Asia.

Hamilton Lane has partnered with Alta, a digital marketplace for alternative assets, according to an announcement sent Thursday. The two will enable pan-regional market access to a fund available on Hamilton Lane’s Evergreen Platform.

«There is opportunity to attract a broader set of investors throughout Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia,» said Victor Jung, head of digital assets at Hamilton Lane.

The partnership also comes at a time of increasing demand for different and more flexible private markets structures. Private markets continued to outperform public markets in 2022, beating public strategies across the board, something that was noted in Hamilton Lane’s 2023 market overview report.

Since last year, Hamilton Lane has entered five digital technology partnerships, of which three of were in Southeast Asia.
