Fundguard, an Israeli AI-based platform that helps asset managers, banks and their service providers to manage mutual funds, hedge and pension funds and other investments, said on Monday it had raised $100 million in a private funding round.

The Series C round was led by Key1 Capital and new investors including Euclidean Capital and funds managed by Hamilton Lane. Existing strategic investors Citi and State Street also participated, plus the company’s earliest financial investors such as Blumberg Capital and Team8.
