We recently shared the announcement of Hamilton Lane’s pending acquisition of 361 Capital. With this exciting news, we dedicated a few of our blogs to Q&As with Erik Hirsch, Vice Chairman and Head of Strategic Initiatives at Hamilton Lane, to share more about HL, its philosophy, and its products. This week we are talking to Erik about ESG investing, the importance of data in private markets, and why he believes HLNE has been one of the best performing financial services stocks.

We recently shared the announcement of Hamilton Lane’s pending acquisition of 361 Capital. With this exciting news, we thought we’d use a few of our upcoming blogs for Q&As with Hamilton Lane to learn more about their company, its philosophy, and its products.

I am very pleased to announce Hamilton Lane’s intention to acquire 361 Capital. Hamilton Lane (NASDAQ: HLNE) is a leading private markets investment management firm with nearly three decades of experience in alternative investing.

I’m generally uncomfortable drawing attention to myself, but today, I am doing so to bring awareness to something that is now very important to me and hopefully inspire even one more person to consider the same. After a very odd and often frustrating 2020, doing something big for someone else has reminded me of the power we all have to make a difference and how rewarding doing something for another person truly is.

We started this blog concept as an interview with our President, Josh Vail, to glean what he has learned about life and leadership during this tumultuous year. After responding to a few of my questions, I felt the tables turn as some of the responses ended up being mine. We decided to publish the whole exchange. Hopefully, our conversation about this unique year, both professionally and personally, is a beneficial read.
