DBS launches bespoke private assets solution for UHNWs and family offices

The bank has teamed up with Hamilton Lane to launch PATH.

DBS Private Bank has partnered with Hamilton Lane to offer the bank’s ultra-high net worth (UHNW) clients and family offices bespoke private assets solution.

Private Assets Tailored by Hamilton Lane (PATH) will enable qualified investors to curate a diversified portfolio of private market funds spanning private equity, credit, infrastructure, and real estate, according to a press release.

The portfolio will be tailored to each investor’s unique investment goals, risk tolerance and preferences.

Since its launch weeks ago, PATH has garnered strong interest among the bank’s clients, DBS said.

More broadly, DBS has seen a nearly five-fold increase in our clients’ assets under management in private assets over the past five years, reflecting the growing appetite for resilient, long-term investment opportunities beyond public markets, said Shee Tse Koon, group head of consumer banking and wealth management, DBS Bank.

“With PATH, we are taking this momentum further by offering our clients an investment solution that comes with a level of customisation, transparency and diversification rarely seen in the private wealth space,” Shee said.

PATH also offers a lower entry point compared to traditional institutional structures, making private markets investing more accessible, and allowing more of our clients to participate meaningfully in this asset class, Shee added.

As of 31 March 2025, Hamilton Lane manages and supervises approximately US$958b in assets globally, with 34 years of private markets expertise.

Hamilton Lane said that it has access to proprietary data through Cobalt—reportedly one of the industry’s largest databases with insights on over 64,070 funds and 164,490 portfolio companies.
