Hamilton Lane will manage Guardian Life Insurance Company’s existing private‑equity portfolio of nearly $5 billion and commit approximately $500 million per year for the next ten years. The agreement includes $250 million in seed capital earmarked for new Evergreen initiatives, providing Guardian’s general account with broader access to primary, co‑investment, and secondary market opportunities through Hamilton Lane’s platform. The partnership also grants Guardian equity warrants and additional financial incentives. Hamilton Lane will collaborate with Guardian’s broker‑dealer and investment adviser, Park Avenue Securities, to deliver solutions to a network of more than 2,400 advisors who manage roughly $58.5 billion in client assets. The deal expands Hamilton Lane’s insurance solutions platform, adds a substantial $5 billion portfolio under management, and injects $500 million annually into its fee‑earning business. The infusion of capital and client access supports Hamilton Lane’s Evergreen growth strategy and strengthens its position as a preferred partner for institutional investors seeking private‑market exposure. Guardian’s investment professionals are expected to join Hamilton Lane after the transaction closes, indicating operational integration and a transfer of expertise. The partnership reflects the broader trend of insurers increasing their allocation to private markets, aligning with Guardian Life’s long‑term investment horizon and Hamilton Lane’s focus on serving the insurance industry.
