Yanfu Investments

Established in 2019, Yanfu Investments is a Shanghai-based quantitative hedge fund management firm. Within a year of its inception, the firm became one of the largest quantitative funds in China, with assets under management exceeding 10 billion yuan. The firm specializes in quantitative finance, employing scientific methods to achieve sustainable and stable returns for its investors.

Yanfu Investments employs a top-down approach to asset allocation, focusing on macroeconomic analysis and overall market valuation levels. The firm primarily invests in stocks listed on the Shanghai or Shenzhen stock exchanges, including new share subscriptions, stocks within the scope of Stock Connect for Southbound Trading, depositary receipts, and various types of bonds.

In 2024, during a significant regulatory crackdown on quantitative funds in China, Yanfu Investments emerged as one of the top four quantitative funds in the country. The firm launched a new index-enhanced product tracking the CSI All-Share Index to address investor concerns over concentration in small-cap stocks. Yanfu's long-only stock approach remains its main strategy, emphasizing lower trading frequency and extended holding periods to align with its investment philosophy.
