Hamilton Lane has expanded its Infrastructure and Real Assets team with five appointments across North America and Europe as investor demand and transaction activity increase across the asset class.
The firm added three senior professionals and two senior associates, bringing the infrastructure team to 27 people across investment and product functions.
Tara Speers joined Hamilton Lane’s Toronto office as a managing director on the product team. She will oversee capital formation, investor relations, fundraising, product management, and portfolio construction for the infrastructure platform.
Speers brings more than 20 years of infrastructure experience. She previously served as a managing director at Fengate, where she focused on capital formation and investor relations.
Lucas May joined the firm’s Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, headquarters as a principal on the Infrastructure and Real Assets Investment team. He will originate, evaluate, and execute direct investments, secondary transactions, and primary fund commitments.
May previously served as a vice president at Vauban Infrastructure Partners, investing in and managing middle-market infrastructure companies.
Colin Mooney joined Hamilton Lane’s London office as a vice president. He will source, underwrite, and monitor primary fund investments, co-investments, and secondary transactions for commingled funds and managed accounts. He previously worked at Jefferies Private Capital Advisory.
Hamilton Lane’s infrastructure platform represented approximately $111.7 billion in assets under management and supervision as of June 30, including $9.3 billion in discretionary assets and $102.4 billion in nondiscretionary assets.
The platform evaluated or sourced $49.4 billion in transactions and deployed more than $1.2 billion through discretionary investments during the first half of 2026. Its two evergreen infrastructure funds surpassed a combined $1.26 billion in assets.
