1. About US

RegentQuant is a hedge fund led by Zhengyang Yao that develops quantitative trading models.

2. Why US

RegentQuant is dominating quant trading for assets under $1 billion.

As a small hedge fund, we have the flexibility and agility to develop high-CAGR strategies, an edge that larger institutions often lack due to their scale and constraints. Building such strategies is absolutely feasible, and if it’s possible, RegentQuant will do it—and we will win.

From Our Founder: "Ever since I began exploring quantitative investing, I have neither read a single book on the subject nor watched any related videos. Relying on my own understanding of the market and its characteristics, I’ve forged my own path in quantitative investing. Since I’ve chosen a route that 99% of people do not take, I face fewer direct competitors, but larger opposing forces in the market, which actually increases my chances of success. If your strategy leverages inherent market characteristics, there’s a good chance it will remain effective for a long time."

3. Founder's Story

Zhengyang Yao began his investing journey in 2019 with the support of his father, who helped him open a brokerage account and provided initial capital. He initially focused on value investing, writing qualitative research articles, and hosting live shows on Snowball (雪球) (Xueqiu), a leading Chinese financial platform.

In mid-2022, Yao shifted his focus to the U.S. stock market and began exploring quantitative finance. By 2023, he transitioned into professional investing and founded Fund X, the flagship fund of RegentQuant.

4. Mission

RegentQuant's mission is to achieve positive returns and create a meaningful impact on society.

5. Future Plan

If everything goes as planned, RegentQuant will be formed as a legal entity, most likely in Hong Kong, in 2027 and will begin accepting new investments from a broader audience.
