Asseto's NGI+ platform has officially launched, with on-chain implementation completed by Partners Group's private infrastructure strategy.
Odaily Odaily reports that Asseto recently announced that its technology platform now supports the official launch of the tokenized product NGI+, bringing the private equity infrastructure strategy managed by global private equity investment management firm Partners Group onto the blockchain. NGI+ is an on-chain token backed by private infrastructure fund equity. The underlying strategy is managed by Partners Group, which manages over $185 billion in assets, while Asseto provides NGI+ with smart contracts, on-chain equity records, and related operational technical support. This underlying strategy primarily invests in infrastructure assets such as data centers, energy infrastructure, power grids, and transportation. Traditionally, such private infrastructure strategies are offered to qualified high-net-worth and institutional investors primarily through private banks and other professional investment channels. Through Asseto's tokenization technology, holders who meet the applicable investor qualifications and product access requirements can obtain on-chain economic exposure linked to the net asset value performance of the underlying strategy, in accordance with the terms set forth in the relevant product documents. The launch of NGI+ further expands the application of the Asseto technology platform in alternative asset tokenization scenarios such as private equity infrastructure.
AI-driven capital inflows accelerate, with China's quantitative fund assets under management doubling to 2.6 trillion yuan within a year.
According to a Bloomberg report on July 3rd, driven by the widespread application of artificial intelligence technology and leading performance, China's quantitative funds are experiencing a buying frenzy, with their assets under management doubling in less than a year to over 2.6 trillion yuan. Data shows that quantitative long-only equity strategies achieved an average return of 44.7% last year, 20.3 percentage points higher than actively managed equity funds, prompting investors to accelerate the shift from traditional stock selection strategies to quantitative investment. Industry insiders believe that the investment logic has shifted from "choosing quantitative funds" to "choosing the quantitative institutions with the strongest AI capabilities," with leading institutions continuously expanding their technological moat by leveraging their advantages in AI, data, and talent. However, as the size of quantitative funds continues to expand and market pricing efficiency improves, the industry expects that obtaining excess returns will become increasingly difficult.

Although short-term market volatility may persist, many directions are becoming increasingly clear from an industry trend perspective. (Shanghai Securities News)
