Hamilton Lane adds two senior Asia professionals

According to a release, the new hires are intended to further strengthen the firm's presence in the Asia-Pacific region. The firm has offices in Hong Kong and Tokyo.

"We are delighted to welcome Mingchen and Yen Li to the Hamilton Lane team," said Erik Hirsch, chief investment officer with Hamilton Lane. "Both bring years of experience in the Asian private equity markets and their deeply developed regional networks and market perspectives will add great depth to our existing presence in the region,"

Prior to joining Hamilton Lane, Mingchen - who is native Chinese and speaks fluent Japanese - was most recently a senior fund manager at Tokio Marine Asset Management, where he was responsible for private equity fund investment globally.

Yen Li joins Hamilton Lane from Oaktree Capital, where she was vice president of marketing and client relations. She previously worked for Morgan Stanley Asia, Pacific World Asset Management and KPMG.

"We had a great year in Asia in 2013, continuing to grow and further strengthen our market position," said Juan Delgado-Moreira, Hong Kong-based managing director and head of international at Hamilton Lane. "We are excited about the expansion of our team and are looking forward to a successful year of the Horse for our clients and partners."

Founded in 1991, Hamilton Lane has more than 200 employees and more than $170 billion in total assets under management and supervision. It has been investing in the secondary market since 2000. It reached a final close of $900 million on its Hamilton Lane Secondary Fund III last September, surpassing the original target of $650 million.
