A Hong Kong billionaire-linked family office is backing a new $100 million artificial intelligence venture fund focused on the infrastructure underpinning AI growth. 3C AGI Partners, founded by former SenseTime executive Esther Wong, is targeting up to $100 million for the fund by March, following a $50 million first close. The vehicle is supported by VMS Group, a family office managing more than $4 billion for some of Hong Kong's wealthiest families.

Otro Capital has raised $1.2 billion for its first buyout fund, underscoring surging institutional appetite for sports-focused private equity strategies.

California Public Employees' Retirement System committed $50 million to the fund.
