Hamilton Lane Deepens Republic Partnership with Strategic On-Chain Investment

Hamilton Lane has made a strategic investment in Republic, an on-chain global investment platform, deepening a partnership aimed at expanding access to private markets through tokenization and digital infrastructure. 

The investment reflects Hamilton Lane’s broader strategy to modernize private markets distribution and reach a more diverse investor base, particularly as demand grows for retail access to institutional-quality strategies. 

“We believe that private markets are evolving toward a more inclusive and expansive investor base,” said Juan Delgado, co-CEO of Hamilton Lane. “Republic has built a platform that aligns with our approach to thoughtful innovation and meeting investors where they are.” 

Republic will use the capital to scale its efforts in tokenization and on-chain infrastructure, with a focus on improving transparency, efficiency and investor engagement. The partnership also supports ongoing innovation in product design, distribution and investor education, key areas as private markets continue to move toward broader accessibility. 

“At Republic, our mission has always been to unlock private markets for everyone, not just the few,” said Kendrick Nguyen, co-founder and co-CEO of Republic. “Hamilton Lane’s continued commitment validates both the importance and the durability of this approach.” 

The firms previously collaborated to expand retail access to Hamilton Lane’s Private Infrastructure Fund through Republic’s platform, giving individual investors exposure to diversified private market assets. 

Today, Hamilton Lane’s Evergreen Platform serves thousands of advisors, offers 11 evergreen funds and manages approximately $16 billion in assets.
