TechFlow news, July 03, according to Bloomberg, driven by the widespread application of AI technology and leading performance, Chinese quantitative funds are experiencing a capital rush, with assets under management doubling in less than a year to exceed 2.6 trillion yuan.
Data shows that the average return of quantitative long-only equity strategies last year reached 44.7%, 20.3 percentage points higher than active equity funds, driving investors to accelerate the shift from traditional stock selection strategies to quantitative investment.
Industry insiders believe that investment logic has shifted from "choosing quant" to "choosing quantitative institutions with the strongest AI capabilities," with top institutions continuously expanding their technical moats leveraging advantages in AI, data, and talent. However, as quantitative fund scales continue to expand and market pricing efficiency improves, the industry expects the difficulty of generating excess returns will also further increase.
