China's quantitative funds have grown at a breakneck pace in recent years, surpassing RMB one trillion in size and becoming a significant player in the country's capital market. Quantitative funds have played an active role in enhancing market liquidity and pricing efficiency. To promote people's understanding of quantitative funds and enhance their risk awareness and risk-management skills, the White Paper extensively introduces quantitative investment concepts, characteristics, theories, and technologies and categorizes quantitative investment strategies from a professional and scientific perspective. It methodically sorted out quantitative fund managers' risk-management framework, compliance operation management process, and risk-management tools for the first time. It also provides insights into domestic and foreign regulatory policies, tax policies, and development trends. Professor Li Xiaohui said, "The White Paper can serve as both a general textbook for investors and a normative guidebook for quantitative fund trading practitioners. It is facilitative to further promoting the sustainable development of the quantitative funds industry and encouraging China's capital market to play a more effective role in optimizing resource allocation."
