Summary
Hong Kong real estate tycoon Peter Woo's family office is exploring the sale of private equity stakes worth around $1 billion, according to people familiar with the matter, as reported by Bloomberg on August 25, 2026.
The stakes potentially being sold include interests in China-focused managers such as HSG, formerly known as Sequoia Capital China, and Vista Equity Partners, two of the people said. The process is at an early stage, and the list of funds is not fixed, the people said. They asked not to be named because they were discussing private matters.
Other outlets covering the story described the sale as a secondary-market transaction. One report characterized the family office as exploring a sale of private equity fund stakes on the secondary market, and another described the family office of Peter Woo, reported to be Hong Kong's sixth-wealthiest individual, as exploring a sale of around US$1 billion. Secondary sales of this kind allow limited partners to exit fund commitments before the end of a fund's term.
The story does not state a timeline, buyers, or pricing for the potential transaction. Woo is also known as a property investor in Hong Kong; separate coverage in the publisher's archive references his prior offer to take Hong Kong-listed Wheelock & Company private in a deal worth just under HK$48 billion ($6.2 billion), but that transaction is not part of the current report.
