US alternative investment management firm, Hamilton Lane has expanded into Australia with a new office in Sydney.

James Martin has been appointed to head up the office to provide support for the firm’s client base in the region and will lead business development efforts across Australia and New Zealand.

“I am quite glad to be joining the team, and believe Hamilton Lane’s extensive experience investing in private markets throughout the world is particularly valuable to Australian investors,” he said.

Commenting, Hamilton Lane chief executive, Mario Giannini, said: “We’ve been active in this region for nearly a decade, and are excited to be formally establishing a presence in Australia”.

“We believe this expansion will allow us to provide a deeper level of market coverage and client service and we’re pleased to welcome James, who brings a strong understanding of the local market dynamics, challenges, and opportunities,” Giannini said.

Prior to Hamilton Lane, Martin focused on institutional sales and deal origination with Partners Group for more than five years, was an associate director of institutional business at Pinnacle Investment Management, and prior to that spent more than nine years at Macquarie Group.
