Billion-level private equity funds: Quantitative strategies surpass subjective strategies for the first time

In terms of market influence, subjective strategy private equity has encountered strong competitors. As of July 14th, among the billion-dollar level private equities, the number of quantitative private equities has increased to 41, surpassing subjective private equities for the first time. More importantly, although there is still a certain gap between quantitative and subjective strategies in terms of overall scale, in the process of continued active trading in the market, quantitative long strategies are rapidly catching up at an extremely fast pace. The scale of quantitative long strategies has grown by over 130 billion yuan in the first five months of this year. Industry insiders believe that against the backdrop of sustained decline in risk-free interest rates, continuous purification of the private equity industry ecosystem, and further improvement in the regulation of algorithmic trading, the overall scale of the private equity fund industry is expected to continue to grow, and quantitative private equities with flexible hedging and diverse strategies will also enter the fast lane of development. The equity investment ecosystem is undergoing profound changes. Next, how to capitalize on the trend and continuously create value for investors is the "must-answer question" for each manager.
