How We Invest

INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

For over a decade, Mingshi has been building proprietary models for the China A-share market, and our strategies range from equities to futures and options.

EQUITIES
Market Neutral
  • Our quantitative strategy implemented with long equities and short index futures &/or short equities, with the objective of producing absolute returns.
Index Enhancement
  • Our quantitative strategy implemented with long equities optimized against a benchmark index, with the objective of outperforming the benchmark index and achieving "Alpha+Beta" returns every month.
DERIVATIVES
  • The derivatives market in China still has plenty of room for growth.
    Mingshi uses a wide range of derivatives to hedge risk and generate returns.
    The CTA strategy is a growing strategy.
    Mingshi has been running CTA strategies since 2019.
RISK MANAGEMENT

Mingshi emphasizes controlling risk rather than pursuing high return when it comes to the trade-off between risk and return.
The firm's Strategy Department has a dedicated Risk Management Group, which holds regular meetings with the Data Group, Trading Group and Strategy Group after the close of each day's trading session to analyse the day's profit and loss and the day's trading exposures, report any abnormal market conditions, strategy performance exceeding normal indicators for backtesting and trading anomalies, and is responsible for monitoring risk on the entire process of the investment business and making recommendations to address potential risk issues. The firm establishes quantitative indicators for various changes in the market and compares them with historical intervals to determine that all strategies are operating in an environment and within parameters that are historically manageable.
