Case study: Supporting Hamilton Lane's tokenised fund launch

Transfer agency services enabling blockchain-powered fund distribution and administration

Hamilton Lane launched a tokenised share class of its Global Private Assets Fund (“GPA”), expanding access to private markets through a blockchain-enabled distribution model.

Developed in partnership with Allfunds Blockchain and supported by us as transfer agent, the initiative brings together institutional-grade fund operations and digital infrastructure to create a more efficient investment experience for investors across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America.

The challenge

As demand grows for greater accessibility, efficiency, and transparency in private markets, asset managers are seeking new ways to improve fund distribution without compromising governance, investor protection, or operational control.

Hamilton Lane required a scalable operating model capable of supporting digital subscriptions, administration, and investor servicing while reducing friction in cross-border distribution and maintaining the standards expected within regulated investment structures.

The solution

We acted as transfer agent for the tokenised GPA share class, supporting end-to-end digital subscription, administration, and investor servicing.

Working alongside Hamilton Lane and Allfunds Blockchain, we helped enable a blockchain-powered operating model designed to streamline fund distribution, simplify shareholder administration, and support institutional investor access through a more efficient and transparent framework.

The results

Our transfer agency capabilities helped support the launch of a tokenised share class that upgrades how private market products are distributed and serviced.

The blockchain-enabled operating model streamlines subscriptions, transfers, and fund administration, reducing friction in cross-border distribution while improving transparency and flexibility for investors and asset managers. The initiative also expands access to Hamilton Lane's GPA Fund through a scalable digital distribution framework.
