Hamilton Lane appoints three managing directors in Asia

Kitao joined the firm in 2012 and leads operations in Japan, having previously worked at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ. Xia and Jacob are both located in Hong Kong. Xia has been with Hamilton Lane since 2014, following a stint with Tokio Marine Asset Management, and is part of the fund investment team. Jacob, an employee of the firm for 10 years, is responsible for client relations and product development for Asia ex-Japan.

"The promotion of Tomoko, Mingchen and Josh is a meaningful part of our ongoing effort to organically grow our team from within and expand our business operations in Asia," Juan Delgado-Moreira, Hong Kong-based managing director and head of international at Hamilton Lane, said in a statement.

This expansion ambition was evidenced last year as the firm opened an office in Seoul, its 12th location globally and third in Asia after Hong Kong and Tokyo.

Hamilton Lane provides a range of private markets solutions and currently has over $239 billion in assets under management or supervision. The discretionary portfolio amounts to more than $34 billion, and about 10% of this is allocated to Asia. Managed solutions usually involve customized separate accounts plus some co-mingled primary, secondary and co-investment fund offerings.
