Investment management firm Hamilton Lane has created a specialised Insurance Solutions team and appointed John Brecker as head of the new division. Brecker is currently a managing director at Hamilton Lane, responsible for the firm’s business development efforts in the US Midwest. The company states that the new division will build on Hamilton Lane's nearly 30-year experience working with insurers, and the nearly US$92 billion the firm manages or oversees on behalf of insurers globally. In addition, Hamilton Lane has enlisted Eric Solfisburg as insurance strategist and Kyle Ross as vice president of insurance client solutions. Solfisburg will work to develop and implement investment solutions for insurers seeking attractive returns in a capital-efficient manner, while Ross is responsible for maintaining and developing client relationships with insurers across North America. Prior to joining Hamilton Lane, Solfisburg was head of investment product consulting at MassMutual, and Ross worked as senior vice president at Capital Dynamics, responsible for business development with insurers. Brecker comments: “Creating this dedicated team underscores our commitment to developing and delivering leading private market solutions tailored to insurers’ unique risk and return profiles. “As a growing number of insurers seek access to the risk and return profiles available within the private markets, we are thrilled to welcome Eric and Kyle and their extensive expertise to the firm.”
