Clearstream, the post-trade services provider of Deutsche Börse Group, is collaborating with global private markets investment firm Hamilton Lane.

The partnership brings Hamilton Lane’s European evergreen fund offering to Clearstream’s integrated fund distribution platform, which will improve operational efficiency and provide access for a broader range of clients seeking private markets exposure.

Clearstream’s large and expanding network of over 300 distribution partners and the investors they service will now have access to Hamilton Lane’s Private Markets Access ELTIF Fund, the diversified multi-asset fund adhering to 2024 ELTIF 2.0 regulations.

The Fund is differentiated in that it utilizes a multi-manager approach designed to provide a diversified portfolio across asset classes, regions, General Partners (GPs) and vintage years through a single allocation. It is part of Hamilton Lane’s USD 15bn AuM global evergreen platform, which was launched in 2019 and today includes 11 funds.

Through Clearstream’s platform, Hamilton Lane will be able to distribute the Fund more efficiently to a wide network of global wealth managers. Hamilton Lane joins a growing community of asset managers collaborating with Clearstream to enhance distribution opportunities, strengthening Clearstream’s position as a preferred partner for private markets investments.

Ralph Aerni, Head of Client Solutions for EMEA at Hamilton Lane stated:

“Building on over three decades in private markets and an ever-expanding evergreen platform with a strong presence in EMEA, we are pleased to partner with Clearstream to offer our Private Markets Access ELTIF Fund. As we continue to focus on expanding access to private markets, Clearstream’s infrastructure and reach will help us serve an even wider audience of investors seeking the differentiated risk and return profile that private markets can provide.”
