Hamilton Lane’s Credit Income Fund Cleared by SEC

Hamilton Lane is expanding its push into wealth channels with the launch of a new private credit vehicle, as the Hamilton Lane Credit Income Fund (HLCIF) has been declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. 

The interval fund provides investors with access to a diversified portfolio of private credit loans, sourced through Hamilton Lane’s extensive global GP network. The firm’s broader private credit platform has scaled to $94 billion, supported by more than two decades of direct lending experience. 

“Rather than index-style exposure, HLCIF offers curated access to a diversified private credit portfolio of middle market senior loans, sourced from Hamilton Lane’s extensive multi-manager platform focused on middle-market lending opportunities,” said Nayef Perry, Head of Direct Credit at Hamilton Lane. 

The fund is designed to meet growing demand for income-oriented alternative strategies, offering daily NAV pricing and enhanced transparency while maintaining a conservative investment approach centered on risk management and volatility mitigation. 

HLCIF will also feature quarterly repurchase offers, providing investors with periodic liquidity without the constraints typically associated with closed-end structures. 

The launch marks the 12th fund on Hamilton Lane’s Evergreen Platform, which serves thousands of financial advisors and manages approximately $16 billion in assets. The firm expects the fund to be available for purchase in April 2026. 

The Conshohocken, PA-based firm has $1 trillion in assets under management and supervision, composed of $146.1 billion in discretionary assets and $871.5 billion in non-discretionary assets, as of December 31, 2025.
