“Hamilton Lane Incorporated (NASDAQ:HLNE), a private markets advisory and funds business for institutional investors, has showcased resiliency in 2023 amidst a highly uncertain macro and fundraising environment. Specialized funds continue to be an area of strength, particularly as the company has success scaling its efforts with high-net-worth clients in the wirehouse channels. This has been an underappreciated growth driver. While Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) earnings fluctuate due to performance fees, we value the company based on its core fee earnings, which have been remarkably consistent and have been durable through cycles.”
