Cobalt: 2020 Year In Review

January 26, 2021

January 26, 2021

2020 was a year full of unexpected twists and major disruption to our everyday lives. However, as we transitioned to a fully remote environment, Cobalt was still as dedicated as ever to seek ways of providing the best in class service to its clients. In addition to major platform updates and a rebranded Cobalt LP website, we continue to optimize internal and client feedback to make our platform accessible and manageable.

What Happened in 2020?

  • Hamilton Lane acquires full ownership of Cobalt LP technology, giving control to better support clients and the resources to continue to build a LP-focused platform.
  • We grew our client base by 22% spanning across global markets including countries like Oman, South Korea, Australia and the United States.
  • 4 client seminars, in response to client concerns in the early onset of the pandemic.
  • Introduced the bulk upload functionality which allows users to quickly upload gross and net diligence data for a manager through one workbook.
  • Partnership with Pitchbook allows Cobalt users access to view their transparent performance data through our platform directly.
  • Value Change: a new analysis to understand how cash flows and organic growth have led to change in asset value from one period to the next.
  • Internal Update! Hiring of new Cobalt LP team members spanning across sales, product management, customer success and software development capabilities.

What Comes Next?

As we prepare for the long year ahead of us, Cobalt is committed to serving as a resource for managers and LPs alike. We’re constantly striving to improve our platform and updating benchmarks to provide the most relevant data. If you think 2020 was productive, here’s a sneak peak of what we plan to have in store for 2021:

  • Excel plug-in: Easily upload cash flows or export analytics.
  • Pitchbook & Hamilton Lane combined benchmark.
  • Updating Hamilton Lane’s proprietary Horizon Model to reflect the most recent trends we’ve seen in the private markets.
  • Ability to create a mock portfolio and run models on risk and optimization.
  • Investment and operational due diligence report.
  • Secondary pricing functionality

Our Story

In 2016, Hamilton Lane, a global private markets asset management firm with more than 28 years of experience, together with Bison, a cutting-edge software solutions firm, brought Cobalt to the market. This unique partnership created a leading private markets platform with a robust product suite of solutions for both GPs and LPs.

In 2020, Hamilton Lane wholly acquired the Cobalt LP business from Bison, fully bringing the limited partner product in house. Hamilton Lane continues to enhance capabilities and drive the Cobalt LP vision forward by delivering data, analysis, reporting, and diligence solutions to limited partners.
