Leading VC Firm, Black3Lab Capital Announces Investment in Ripe Web 3.0 Sectors SeaPRwire

Leading VC Firm, Black3Lab Capital Announces Investment in Ripe Web 3.0 Sectors

New York, NY, September 02, 2022 – (SEAPRWire) – Black3Lab Capital, a venture capital firm built to empower web 3.0 companies with potential for global mass adoption, has announced investments in ripe web 3.0 sectors. Black3Lab’s proposed $50 to $100 million fund will focus on building a genuinely feasible economy of web 3.0-fueled products and services for the global populace. In addition to investing in potentially productive web 3.0 sectors, Black3Lab will undertake the enterprise adoption of social media, gaming, and NFTs. At a recently concluded launch ceremony, co-founder of Black3Lab, Alex Chong, announced that the putative investment fund is in partnership with three famous partners. The Black3Lab fund will focus primarily on enriching projects with the potential to accelerate global adoption. “We are hyper-focused on web 3.0 companies with the suitable DNA to integrate with existing conglomerates with millions of customers for Black3Lab portfolio companies to tap. Ultimately, mass user adoption will allow web 3.0 platforms and projects to achieve explosive growth and sustainable revenue generation capabilities,” Alex Chong reveals. Unlike web 2.0, which gave rise to internet giants like Google, Apple, Facebook, etc., web 3.0 promotes user-centric ownership, harmonizing perfectly with human incentives. Speaking about the current web 2.0 internet phase and the rise of centralized tech giants, the co-founder of Black3Lab reiterated Alex Chong’s claims of web 3.0’s potential to deliver at least ten times the market opportunities of the former. “User-centric networks deliver significantly higher and more explosive growth than their centralized competitors. At the core, you can always find more favorable terms for users. Web 2.0 gave birth to a US$10 trillion market, and now web 3.0 has the potential to deliver ten times the market opportunities,” Candy states. The Black3Lab fund will incorporate a dynamic trading strategy that delivers consistent returns of over 30% to investors. Black3Lab Partners Per Alex Chong’s announcement at the launch ceremony held at the Peninsula Hotel, Hong Kong, on 18th August 2022, Black3Lab has partnered with notable media veterans like Bob. Bob led the global collaboration team of some of the biggest media tech companies. He also led Strategies and Partnerships at Forkast—a web 3.0 media ecosystem. Bob recapitulates Candy’s idea of user-centric ownership as the key to driving mass adoption in the emerging web 3.0 space. “Black3Lab Capital is notably unique: We exist not just out of the goal for strong financial returns but to foster the mass adoption of web 3.0 solutions. We believe user-centric ownership will be the key to unleashing the next-generation internet,” Bob says. About Black3Lab Capital Black3Lab Capital is a VC firm founded in Hong Kong. Black3Lab aims to empower web 3.0 companies with maximum potential for accelerated mass success, offering high returns to investors. The team comprises renowned enterprise founders, tech developers, VCs, media executives, and F&B entrepreneurs keen on introducing a more equitable, rewarding, and innovative internet economy.

Mitsubishi Corporation Announces the Closing of AIGF II Small and Mid-cap Growth Fund in ASEAN

TOKYO, Aug 26, 2022 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Mitsubishi Corporation (MC) is pleased to announce the final closing of AIGF II LP (AIGF II) with total capital commitments of 17.3 billion yen from institutional investors both in and outside Japan. AIGF II is the second fund established by MC's wholly owned subsidiary AIGF Advisors Pte. Ltd. (AIGF), a private-equity (PE) firm based in Singapore that manages investment funds in the ASEAN region. Launched in 2014 to accelerate growth at small and mid-cap enterprises in ASEAN and boost their industrial competitiveness, AIGF invests in the businesses and extends them management support. Through its first fund, AIGF I, the firm invested in Jaya Grocer (a company that runs premium supermarket chain in Malaysia), RDCL (the operator of Thailand's Kentucky Fried Chicken stores), and KMC (the largest flexible workspace provider in the Philippines). AIGF has steadily built up a strong track record in creating new value and growth at its portfolio companies, as evidenced by its success with Jaya Grocer, which was sold back to the original owner in 2021 after enjoying a significant expansion in its network of stores. Leveraging know-how gained through its first fund, AIGF has already begun investing through AIGF II in a variety of sectors. So far, the AIGF II portfolio includes BHS Kinetic, an integrated specialized logistics and installation services provider in Singapore, and Meatworld International, a leading meat retailer and distributor in the Philippines. Although the ASEAN region is expected to enjoy stable economic and population growth in the coming years, when compared to Japan its market for direct investments is limited and underdeveloped. PE funds like those managed by AIGF are gaining a greater presence as providers of growth capital to promising businesses. MC has been developing PE businesses both in Japan and around the world that distinguish themselves by taking advantage of the MC Group's collective capabilities. As MC's core PE platform in ASEAN, AIGF shall continue to do its part in strengthening both the region's industry and business community by investing in the growth of promising enterprises and leveraging MC's broad network and industry expertise.

FUND THE PLANET is securing and preserving rainforest ecosystems while providing incentives, transparency, and rewards for rainforest token holders. Their mission is creating a fast scaling system, which will prevent further deforestation, degradation, and the collapse of the Amazon in order to fight climate change effectively on a large scale. The company has acquired over 2662 acres (10.78 square kilometers) of endangered rainforest since the company was founded in May 2021. The acquisition of this Amazonia rainforest real estate in the Sarayacu district of Peru will increase efforts to preserve rainforests by utilizing blockchain technology via NFTs (Non-fungible tokens). This gives organizations and consumers anywhere on the planet the opportunity to make a direct impact on the endangered ecosystem, reduce or offset their carbon footprint, and achieve specific SDG goals (Sustainable Development Goals). All with a straightforward purchase of its tokens, in complete transparency, and with ample proof of the positive impact at their fingertips. The preserved rainforest area can now be customized by business clients using FUND THE PLANET. This can be done through over-the-counter transactions by contacting FUND THE PLANET directly through the company’s website or other preferred payment channels.

These projects are intended to discourage deforestation while also providing a sustainable alternative to the local community and incentivize everyone to protect their precious natural capital and fight against climate change. FUND THE PLANET has also launched the Rainforest Explorer alongside the Rainforest Tokens, a virtual interactive interface that shows the rainforest being preserved. It is open for the public to track the claimed impact of cooperative and individual token holders. It is a world map that contains ecological data such as carbon sequestered, freshwater produced, area protected by tokens, and a multitude of other important specifications about the rainforest parcel being conserved. This interface contains media including preservation work, property condition, and the FUND THE PLANET team’s groundwork while tracking subsequent progress as transparently as possible for individuals to follow up on. Rainforest Token holders can create a public, shareable, profile in the Rainforest Explorer to prove and display their positive impact. In the coming years, FUND THE PLANET will work to improve its position as a leading impact company that specializes in rainforest preservation.

The company is securing and preserving rainforest ecosystems while providing incentives, transparency, and rewards for rainforest token holders, with the aim of getting everyone involved in preserving nature and utilizing blockchain technology to make it possible at scale.

Perseverance Asset Management: long bias and fundamental bottom-up strategy ACN Newswire

Perseverance Asset Management: long bias and fundamental bottom-up strategy

HONG KONG, Jun 28, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - China's hedge fund market has been building and has seen a 70% increase in total assets over the past two years to over 6 trillion RMB (US$944 billion) at the end of 2021. Equity hedge fund manager Perseverance Asset Management is taking advantage of this surge by funneling international institutional capital into China's securities market. Perseverance's achievement has been recognised by Asia Asset Management (AAM) in its Best of the Best 2022 award for Best Domestic Private Fund Manager (China). The company's Chief Investment Officer Deng Xiaofeng was awarded the title of CIO of the Year for China. According to Daisy Liang, head of global business development at Perseverance, global asset owners have been increasingly committed to hedge fund assets invested in China over the past five years, due mainly to the market's robust fundamentals. "Foreign investors have a firm belief that there are a group of high-quality Chinese companies with innovative, hard-working entrepreneurs," Liang says in an interview with AAM. Moreover, China's Securities Regulatory Commission has been taking steps to ease restrictions on margin trading and short selling on more stocks in recent years as part of its efforts to propel the domestic capital market. Also, regulatory loosening has provided overseas investors with more comfort despite China's capital market having been through some "eventful" years, facing issues such as stock market volatility, US-China trade disputes, and the coronavirus pandemic. Long-bias strategies Despite the regulatory easing on short selling, Liang observes that overseas institutional investors are still generally more long-oriented in going about investing in Chinese equity assets, seeking to capture both market beta and alpha. Perseverance primarily offers long-bias and long-only equity hedge fund solutions with a fundamental research-driven bottom-up approach. Liang says the company's solutions align with its core allocation in global asset owners' global equity portfolios, in some cases alternative portfolios. The asset owners generally take various factors, including the sustainability of investment performance, alpha generation capability, investment philosophy, the portfolio managers' incentive alignment, and research team structure and process into account over the course of selecting hedge fund managers who invest in China. Investment managers need to tick the boxes both in terms of investment due diligence and operational due diligence to be selected by large global institutional investors, Liang mentioned. Perseverance's global business has developed rapidly, with some prominent international institutional investors such as pension funds and sovereign wealth funds have become its customers, boosted by investors' preference for long-oriented and fundamental equity strategies and highly selective criteria and rigorous due diligence process on managers' investment and operational capabilities. "Long-only strategies are among the mainstream choices for overseas investors," Liang says. "They prefer to go for fundamental strategic investment styles as the approaches are similar to how they invest in global markets." Importantly, the company's funds are overseen by a mix of portfolio managers with different investment styles, among them deep value, contrarian, and growth-oriented. Liang notes this multi-manager model meets different demands from different clients. In terms of strategy preference, generally speaking, sovereign wealth funds and pension funds favour long-only strategies, while family offices and endowment funds generally prefer long-bias investment choices. On investment trends, Liang says some institutional clients have rebalanced their allocation to top-up investment in China since the market sell-off in July 2021. The market adjustment prompted them to replenish their position as the value of their China allocation dropped below the targeted level. Overall, investors are committed to the long-term and rarely adjust their core portfolio allocation, she says.(Source: Asia Asset Management) Copyright 2022 ACN Newswire. All rights reserved.
