Since 2019, the firm has been serving 13 new customers and managing $1.8bn of AUM in the region.

HarbourVest managing director Peter Wilson said: “The establishment of a local Australian presence reflects the significant growth of this region as well as the increased interest in the alternative assets classes we observe among investors in Australia and New Zealand.

“This is an exciting stage in the firm’s evolution as we continue to grow our capabilities across Asia Pacific and further deepen our connections with local clients.”

In July last year, HarbourVest announced the opening of its new office in Frankfurt, Germany to satisfy the growing demand from its wealthy clients in the country.
