[Bloomberg: AI-Driven Capital Inflows Accelerate, China's Quantitative Fund Management Scale Doubles to 2.6 Trillion Yuan in One Year] Deep Tide TechFlow reports on July 3 that, according to Bloomberg, driven by the widespread application of artificial intelligence technology and leading performance, China's quantitative funds are experiencing a surge in capital inflows. Their management scale has doubled in less than a year, surpassing 2.6 trillion yuan. Data shows that quantitative long-only equity strategies achieved an average return of 44.7% last year, outperforming active equity funds by 20.3 percentage points, prompting investors to accelerate the shift from traditional stock-picking strategies to quantitative investing. Industry insiders believe that the investment logic has shifted from "choosing quantitative" to "choosing the quantitative institutions with the strongest AI capabilities." Leading institutions are leveraging their advantages in AI, data, and talent to continuously expand their technological moat. However, as the scale of quantitative funds continues to grow and market pricing efficiency improves, the industry expects that the difficulty of achieving excess returns will also increase further.
