Chubb Wealth and Hamilton Lane Partner to Unlock Private Markets for Hong Kong Investors

Chubb Wealth and Hamilton Lane have entered a strategic partnership to provide professional investors in Hong Kong with streamlined access to private market investments. By integrating Hamilton Lane’s evergreen funds into the Chubb Wealth platform, the collaboration addresses the growing demand for portfolio diversification through high-growth private assets and infrastructure, previously restricted to institutional players.

What was announced

The partnership focuses on broadening the availability of private market investments, specifically targeting growth-oriented assets for eligible professional investors within the Hong Kong market. Under the terms of the agreement, a selection of Hamilton Lane’s global evergreen funds will be integrated into the Chubb Wealth digital platform. These funds are designed to provide exposure to several key sectors, including Asian private assets, private infrastructure, and venture and growth opportunities.

The initiative aims to simplify the often complex process of accessing private markets, which typically involve long lock-up periods and high entry barriers. By utilizing Hamilton Lane’s evergreen structures—which currently manage approximately $20.1 billion in assets across 12 different funds globally—the partnership offers a more liquid and accessible route for wealth management clients. The focus is particularly on companies driving global economic shifts, such as those involved in artificial intelligence, data infrastructure, and biotechnology. This move allows investors to gain exposure to pre-IPO companies that have historically been a significant source of growth but remained largely out of reach for individual professional investors. The collaboration combines Chubb Wealth’s advisory expertise and digital infrastructure with Hamilton Lane’s established investment track record in the private equity and debt space.

"High-growth, pre-IPO companies represent a vital private asset class that has historically represented a significant source of portfolio diversification and growth potential, yet has remained out of reach for most individual investors. As disruptive technology and structural themes such as AI, data infrastructure and biotech continue to reshape the global economy, access to the companies driving this transformation has become an increasingly important consideration for long-term portfolios."

Ben Rudd, General Manager of Chubb Wealth.

What FF News has reported before

FF News has closely monitored Chubb Wealth’s expansion into the alternative investment space in Hong Kong. In September 2026, we reported that Chubb Wealth and S64 Launch Evergreen Private Markets Fund Series in Hong Kong, a move that signaled the firm’s intent to dominate the local evergreen fund market. This latest partnership with Hamilton Lane builds upon that momentum. Additionally, the broader trend of institutional asset managers seeking new distribution channels is a recurring theme in our coverage. We recently highlighted how Leading Asset Managers to Join New Corastone Platform as Investors Alongside Apollo, Franklin Templeton and KKR, reflecting a global shift toward democratizing private market access. Our reporting on Securitize and Socios.com Partner to Bring Tokenized Sports Team Equity Onchain also underscores the industry's drive to offer professional investors more diverse, non-public assets.

What this means

This partnership reflects the accelerating "democratization" of private equity, a trend that is placing traditional public market providers under significant pressure. As professional investors in Hong Kong seek refuge from the volatility and concentration of public indices, the ability to offer "evergreen" structures—which mitigate the capital call and liquidity issues of traditional private equity—is becoming a competitive necessity for wealth platforms. The industry is moving toward a model where the distinction between institutional and high-net-worth portfolios is blurring. However, this shift raises critical questions regarding the long-term performance of these retail-friendly vehicles compared to their closed-end counterparts, and whether the infrastructure of wealth platforms can truly handle the complexities of private asset valuation at scale.
