  • AIP Secondary Fund II L.P., Aquilius' second real estate secondaries flagship fund, closed on total capital commitments of over US$750 million. The fund was significantly oversubscribed at the hard cap, surpassing its original US$700 million target.

  • The Firm raised US$1.1 billion in capital commitments for its second flagship fund and associated vehicles. The program attracted diverse global institutional investors, including leading sovereign wealth funds and pension funds.

  • Aquilius seeks to capitalize on the region's fast-growing, untapped real estate secondaries market, with the aim of building highly diversified, shorter duration portfolios across 'new economy' sectors at attractive, risk-adjusted return profiles.

  • Founded in 2021 by ex-Partners Group and ex-Blackstone Asia private markets industry veterans Bastian Wolff and Christian Keiber, Aquilius has established itself as the largest real estate secondaries platform in Asia, with 30 on-the-ground professionals.
  • SINGAPORE, Nov. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Aquilius Investment Partners ("Aquilius" or the "Firm"), a leading provider of secondaries solutions in the Asia Pacific region, completes fundraising of its second real estate secondaries flagship fund, AIP Secondary Fund II L.P. ("AIP SF II").

    AIP SF II was significantly oversubscribed at the hard cap and closed on over US$750 million in capital commitments, surpassing its original US$700 million target. In aggregate, the Firm has raised US$1.1 billion in capital commitments across its flagship fund and associated vehicles.

    Aquilius' Asia Pacific secondaries program attracted a wide range of global institutional investors, including leading sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, financial institutions, and family offices.

    AIP SF II is Aquilius' second real estate secondaries flagship fund targeting LP-led and GP-led transactions across Asia Pacific, with exposure to 'new economy' sectors supported by structural tailwinds including logistics, life sciences, data centers, hospitality and living. AIP SF II has already deployed approximately 50% of total commitments across eight secondaries transactions.

    Bastian Wolff, Founding Partner at Aquilius, commented: "We are actively capitalizing on a generational buying opportunity for secondaries in Asia. This milestone fundraise is a testament to our strong track record and highlights the continued and growing appetite for Asian real estate secondaries investments among LPs, as market volatility and the need for liquidity drives deal volume to record highs. It's incredibly rewarding to see our Firm recognized and supported by such a broad and global group of high-profile institutional investors. We are deeply thankful for the trust of existing and new investors, whose partnership makes this milestone possible."

    Christian Keiber, Founding Partner at Aquilius, commented: "The past 12 months marked a record-breaking year for secondaries volume. We are committed to being the leading provider of secondaries solutions in the Asia Pacific region — partnering with institutional investors and fund managers to deliver value through creative, efficient and scalable liquidity solutions while delivering compelling returns to our investors."

World's Leading Provider of Cutting-Edge Smart Ring Solutions

NEW YORK, May 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- RingConn opened Gen 3 pre-orders on May 5th ahead of its official May 29th launch, marking the occasion with a feature on the iconic One Times Square billboard in New York City on the first day of pre-orders. The next-generation device combines holistic health tracking, subtle smart alerts, and new premium finishes, delivering an ultra-lightweight and slim design without compromising long battery life. To celebrate the launch, customers who pre-order through the official RingConn website can enjoy a limited-time 10% discount.*

Vascular Trend tracking

RingConn Gen 3 Smart Ring introduces advanced vascular insights, designed to help users observe long‑term vascular trends through continuous data collection.*

Built on over a decade of research in vascular algorithms and modeling, RingConn's vascular capability moves beyond single-point measurements to long-term trend-based assessment. The system requires periodic user calibration to ensure improved accuracy, with recommendations for calibration three times within the first 24 hours and monthly thereafter. By combining user-input blood pressure data with ring-derived vascular load indicators, the system provides a more comprehensive view of overall vascular health.

Once calibrated, Gen 3 enables automatic vascular load assessments during periods of sleep or low motion, allowing users to continuously track meaningful changes over time without frequent manual input. The system also incorporates key influencing factors—including circadian rhythm adaptation, sleep respiratory health, post-exercise vascular recovery, and overall daily vascular stability—to help users better understand the relationship between lifestyle and cardiovascular patterns.

Effortless 24/7 Wearability with Extended Battery Life

RingConn Gen 3 Smart Ring is designed for continuous and comfortable wear, with a fully upgraded experience centered on durability and long-term usability. Featuring a refined ultra-lightweight form factor and enhanced engineering design, the device is built to seamlessly integrate into daily life, enabling consistent and uninterrupted health data tracking.

Powered by RingConn EcoPower Tech 2.0, the Gen 3 features an upgraded battery system and improved energy density, delivering up to 11–14 days of battery life in standard usage without vibration mode. This reduces charging frequency and supports continuous, long-term health monitoring with minimal interruption.

The ring adopts RingConn's proprietary ergonomic design, resulting in a lighter and thinner profile that conforms more naturally to the finger. With IP68 water resistance up to 100 meters, the Gen 3 is designed for durability in everyday use, enabling reliable performance across a wide range of real-life scenarios. Together, these features allow users to wear the device seamlessly through typing, handwashing, showering, swimming, and sleep - ensuring uninterrupted physiological data collection day and night.

A refined brushed finish, achieved through an advanced laser-engraving process, enhances the device's surface texture with greater precision and depth. The upgraded finishing process requires over 30% more production time compared to conventional methods, reflecting a higher level of craftsmanship. Expanded color options further enhance versatility, allowing the ring to blend naturally into both casual and professional environments while encouraging consistent daily wear.

Holistic Health Tracking

RingConn Gen 3 Smart Ring delivers comprehensive health tracking across multiple key dimensions, including sleep, sleep apnea, heart rate, blood oxygen, activity, stress, and women's health management such as menstrual cycle tracking and pregnancy preparation-related insights. Through continuous monitoring and long-term analysis, the device provides users with a more complete understanding of their health status over time, supporting more informed daily lifestyle decisions.

The system is powered by an advanced VCSEL infrared sensing solution, designed to enhance data stability and accuracy across a wide range of wearing conditions and real-world scenarios, strengthening the foundation for long-term health trend analysis. In internal testing, the system achieved a resting heart rate accuracy of ≥98.58%, a blood oxygen mean absolute error (MAE) of ≤0.95%, a step count accuracy of ≥97.20%, and a temperature accuracy of ±0.08°C, demonstrating strong performance in multi-dimensional health data capture.

Subtle Smart Alert

RingConn Gen 3 Smart Ring introduces subtle smart alerts to provide timely feedback when key health changes are detected. Through gentle vibration-based notifications, the device can also prompt users in scenarios such as prolonged inactivity or low battery, helping support more balanced daily usage and awareness. In quiet environments — such as during meetings or conversations — these silent notifications allow users to stay informed without disruptive sounds or attention-grabbing screen notifications.

The alert system is fully customizable, allowing users to enable or disable notifications based on personal preference. By prioritizing minimal disruption and silent vibration cues over intrusive alerts, RingConn ensures that health reminders remain discreet, context-aware, and seamlessly integrated into everyday life.

*Pre-order offer: The 10% limited-time discount is available exclusively at the RingConn official website from May 5 through June 10, 2026.

*This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition. As a pre-diagnostic tool, the Gen 3 does not replace the diagnosis or treatment by a qualified healthcare professional.
