HarbourVest Partners, a global private markets asset manager, today announced the appointment of Peter Larsen as Managing Director and Head of Infrastructure Distribution. The appointment reflects the growth of HarbourVest’s infrastructure platform as investors increasingly look to diversify their private markets portfolios with non-correlated offerings.

Peter spent more than 17 years at Hamilton Lane in both investment roles and, more recently, as Managing Director, Real Assets leading capital formation across infrastructure and real estate in closed-end and evergreen strategies. He also previously served as a Partner with Atlantic-Pacific Capital, where he led fundraising and sales strategy for several years.

HarbourVest’s infrastructure platform was established in 2015, with closed-end and evergreen funds across primaries, secondaries, and co-investment vehicles. As the sector has grown and allocations to infrastructure have increased, HarbourVest has continued to invest in talent, technology, and offerings to meet investor demand.

“Investors are increasingly looking for diversified infrastructure exposure across strategies, sectors and geographies. This asset class has a low correlation to other private markets strategies and can provide tremendous diversification potential,” said Tim Flower, Managing Director and Head of Infrastructure at HarbourVest. “Peter’s experience on both sides of the table, as an investor and a capital raiser, gives him exceptional perspective when it comes to helping clients build resilient, long-term exposure.”

At HarbourVest, Peter will serve as the bridge between the infrastructure investment team and HarbourVest’s global Investor Relations organization. He will help drive strategy, strengthen relationships with investors and consultants, and identify growth opportunities in the sector.

“Infrastructure has an important role to play in a well-constructed, diversified portfolio,” said Peter. “And I believe that HarbourVest has a tremendous advantage when it comes to the tools, talent, and technology that private market investors demand.”
