US-based private markets investment management firm Hamilton Lane has teamed up with Allfunds Blockchain to expand access to private markets for investors across Europe.
The firms intend to expand access to certain Hamilton Lane funds by offering tokenized versions via the Allfunds Blockchain platform.
In collaboration with Apex Group, which will serve as the transfer agent, the partnership aims to streamline fund operations and increased investor access to performance opportunities within the private markets.
The firms say they hope to lay the groundwork for offering private markets solutions to a broader range of investors across key markets including Spain, Italy and other regions in Europe.
Victor Jung, Head of Digital Assets at Hamilton Lane, said: “At Hamilton Lane we are keenly focused on utilizing technology to expand access to private markets, and this partnership is another important step in that direction.
“Together with AllFunds Blockchain, we aim to alleviate some of the barriers to entry for investors looking to access the historically strong returns that private markets can offer by providing more transparency, seamless operations and a solution that we believe is cheaper, better and faster.”
