September 27, 2024 | 2 Min Read

Hong Kong - Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK) announced today that leading global private markets investment management firm, Hamilton Lane, has expanded its Hong Kong operation, setting up its first Hong Kong Limited Partnership Fund ("HKLPF"). Hamilton Lane will leverage the city's attractive tax regime and strategic location to build on its presence within the region.

Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion, Mr Charles Ng, congratulated Hamilton Lane's expansion in Hong Kong. He said, "Hong Kong as an international finance centre has a prudent and robust financial regulatory regime, free flow of capital, a full range of financial products, and a large pool of financial talents. It is an ideal place for overseas and Mainland financial companies to set up or expand their business in the region."

Hamilton Lane has been operating in Hong Kong for 15 years, having opened its inaugural office in Asia here in 2009. Together with its newly established HKLPF, the company is marking a number of milestones within Hong Kong at the moment, according to Head of Greater China Client Solutions at Hamilton Lane, Ms Shannon Chow.

Ms Chow said, "We have been operating in Hong Kong for many years now, having been initially drawn to the city by its attractive tax structure and lowest tax rates of any major financial centre. The city is situated in the heart of Asia, close to our client base here, and is well connected to the rest of the world."

She added, "Hong Kong's strong workforce is important for us to develop our business, as we continue to add to and grow our talented team, including in support of the HKLPF."
