Hong Kong’s total assets under management will rise 20% year-on-year to a record high of HK$42.2 trillion (US$5.4 trillion) by 2025.

Assets under management in asset management and fund advisory services increased by 19% year-on-year to RMB31 trillion (US$4 trillion). 3.

AI-driven capital inflows accelerate, with China's quantitative fund assets under management doubling to 2.6 trillion yuan within a year.
According to a Bloomberg report on July 3rd, driven by the widespread application of artificial intelligence technology and leading performance, China's quantitative funds are experiencing a buying frenzy, with their assets under management doubling in less than a year to over 2.6 trillion yuan. Data shows that quantitative long-only equity strategies achieved an average return of 44.7% last year, 20.3 percentage points higher than actively managed equity funds, prompting investors to accelerate the shift from traditional stock selection strategies to quantitative investment. Industry insiders believe that the investment logic has shifted from "choosing quantitative funds" to "choosing the quantitative institutions with the strongest AI capabilities," with leading institutions continuously expanding their technological moat by leveraging their advantages in AI, data, and talent. However, as the size of quantitative funds continues to expand and market pricing efficiency improves, the industry expects that obtaining excess returns will become increasingly difficult.
