Cynosure Partners, the direct investments business of The Cynosure Group, and Hamilton Lane have closed a single-asset continuation vehicle for Savant Capital Holdings, LLC, trading as Savant Wealth Management.
Ten years after Cynosure's initial investment in Savant, the continuation vehicle secured approximately $270 million in total commitments, providing a liquidity option to Cynosure's original limited partners. Funds managed by Hamilton Lane served as the sole lead investor and the only source of new outside capital.
Savant has more than $57 billion in assets under management and is described as one of the largest independent, fee-only registered investment advisers in the United States, serving more than 25,000 clients across 70 offices.
Cynosure remains an active minority investor and board member alongside Kelso & Company. Savant employees continue to represent the largest shareholder group.
"Ten years marked the right time for us to allow our original investors to take liquidity in what has been a great partnership with the entire Savant organization," said Keith Taylor, co-founder and managing director at Cynosure. "We have as much conviction in Savant's future today as when we first invested."
Keith Brittain, co-head of secondary investments at Hamilton Lane, commented on the transaction, which the firm positions within its wider activity across the wealth management ecosystem and its experience in the registered investment adviser sector.
Single-asset continuation vehicles have become a standard tool for resolving the tension between long-duration assets and finite fund lives. For family offices, they represent one of the more accessible routes into mature private companies with established operating records — a theme addressed on the Oxford 2026 programme through secondaries and liquidity solutions.
