Talents are important engines for the quantitative private equity development, and their significance is even more prominent in the current context of intensified competition. Journalists found that this year, the competition for talents in the quantitative private equity industry is very fierce. In addition to the previous high salary attraction, now they are also offering new measures such as "mentoring by top experts" to attract talents. Based on this, the internationalization requirements for talents in the quantitative private equity industry are increasing. Several quantitative private equity professionals interviewed by Securities Daily stated that in the past, quantitative private equity talent selection focused more on STEM background and comprehensive abilities, usually using high salaries and equity incentives to attract talent. At present, quantitative private equity places more emphasis on long-term talent development, with many institutions optimizing selection mechanisms and establishing "one-on-one" talent development plans, aiming to retain the most outstanding talents.
