Hamilton Lane recently expanded its global footprint, making a series of new executive appointments across London and Frankfurt, and adding outposts in Milan, Stockholm and Zug, according to a press release.
The company also doubled its slate of global offices with new openings in the region.
"We have grown intentionally and thoughtfully, adding talent in key geographies and within our institutional and private wealth channels across EMEA,” managing director, Ralph Aerni said. “We've continued to reinforce our presence due to increasing client demand and interest in Hamilton Lane's suite of institutional and private wealth products, and today we believe we are well positioned to provide the highest caliber of service to our clients."
The appointment correlates with Hamilton’s recent office opening in Milan, Stockholm and Zug. The company’s EMEA presence has recently doubled in the EMEA region with up to more than six offices. The openings will join existing establishments in London, Frankfurt and Tel Aviv.
The company’s Milan office is led by Principal Anastasia Di Carlo. In Frankfurt, Christian D'Amico has been appointed as a principal on the client solutions team, covering Germany and Austria, while in London, Carolin Blank assumes the role of head of relationship management, EMEA, where she will lead the company’s client servicing strategies.
Ben Edwards also joined the firm, now forming part of its client solutions group as a principal, where he’s responsible for UK institutions and their advisers. In June, Victor Jung joined the firm's Zug office as managing director and head of digital assets. Reporting to Chief Risk Officer and Global Head of Operations Frederick Shaw, Jung is now tasked with developing the firm’s global digital asset strategy. Katrin Boström will further edify the company’s operations from Stockholm as managing director.
"Continued expansion in Europe and bolstering our local teams are key strategic initiatives for our organization,” Richard Hope, head of EMEA, said. “Against the backdrop of an uncertain macro environment, institutional and private wealth investors are taking into account the strong historical performance of private markets and are looking to increase their exposure to the asset class."
