Quantitative investment refers to a trading method in which orders for buying and selling are issued through quantitative methods and computer programming in order to obtain stable income. Its overseas development has a history of more than 30 years, its investment performance is stable, its market scale and share are expanding, and it has been recognized by more and more investors.
Judging from the participants in the global market and the scale of assets under management, the top four and the top five of the world's top six asset management institutions all rely on computer technology to make investment decisions, and the scale of funds managed by quantitative and programmatic exchanges continues to expand.
In order to protect investors, North American securities regulators listed it as a high-risk investment product and strictly restricted the involvement of ordinary investors. For example, it is stipulated that each hedge fund should have fewer than 65,438+000 investors, and the minimum investment is 654,380+000 million dollars.
People call financial futures and financial options financial derivatives, and they are usually used as a means to hedge and avoid risks in financial markets.
With the passage of time, in the financial market, some fund organizations use financial derivatives to adopt various profit-oriented investment strategies. These fund organizations are called hedge funds. Hedge funds have long lost the connotation of risk hedging. On the contrary, it is generally believed that hedge funds are actually based on the latest investment theory and extremely complicated financial market operation skills, and make full use of the leverage of various financial derivatives to undertake high-risk and high-yield investment models.
