About This Episode

Hamilton Lane (Nasdaq: HLNE) is one of the largest private market investment firms globally, with nearly $857 billion in assets under management consisting of $112.2 billion in discretionary assets and $744.4 billion in non-discretionary assets as of March 2023, providing innovative solutions to institutional and private wealth investors around the world.

In this episode, my guest, Steve Brennan, will discuss the private market opportunity for advisors and HNW investors. For financial advisors looking to minimize the impact of public-market volatility on their clients’ portfolios, private equity is a long-term investment vehicle that gives an investor an extended period to invest their money and protect it from the turbulence of the markets. Private-market investing can provide gains for HNW investors who have traditionally focused on real estate and private-credit strategies.

But many advisors still don't invest in private markets. Steve will discuss the opportunity in private investing, how it works, and most importantly, how to use it in the context of a portfolio.
