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.
