VMS is looking to diversify into more liquid investments, Cheung said. Its investment strategy has largely been focused on private equity during its two-decade existence. Private equity has become less liquid because investees are choosing to stay private for longer, he added.
Cheung also cited clearer regulatory treatment of digital assets in numerous jurisdictions as well as growing institutional demand as factors in stepping into crypto.
