RegentQuant is a quantitative hedge fund founded in 2023 by Zhengyang Yao. We focus exclusively on building and implementing systematic investment strategies across public markets.
Today we steward approximately $1 – $1.5 million in assets through three dedicated funds: the RegentQuant Multi-Strategy Fund, the RegentQuant Global Macro Strategy Fund, and the RegentQuant Nasdaq-100 Enhanced Strategy Fund.
Our investment philosophy blends curiosity-driven research with disciplined execution. The discretionary phase is human-led—we identify research themes using passion, creativity, and first-principles thinking. Once a direction is chosen, the process becomes strictly quantitative: rigorous data analysis, statistical modeling, and systematic validation guide every strategy from prototype to deployment.
Why Us
First-Principles Research
We deconstruct market behavior instead of simply optimizing existing models. Much like SpaceX questioned the cost of rocket materials, we question the fundamental drivers of asset moves. Strategies are built on deep structural understanding, not fragile historical correlations.
A Creative and Agile Team
We operate without legacy constraints. Curiosity, rapid experimentation, and openness to new tools keep us ahead in an industry defined by change. This mindset consistently surfaces overlooked opportunities.
A Spectrum of Solutions
From capital preservation and index enhancement to higher-octane absolute-return mandates, RegentQuant offers strategies across the risk spectrum. We can further adapt mandates, tailoring exposures and risk limits to investor objectives.
Durable, Uncorrelated Alpha
Alpha decay is the primary threat in quant investing. We mitigate it by sourcing unconventional data, constructing differentiated models, and avoiding crowded factors. Our aim is resilient performance that remains uncorrelated to mainstream quant flows.
Founder's Story
Zhengyang Yao began investing in 2019, publishing research and hosting live shows on Snowball (雪球). By 2023 he transitioned into professional investing, founding Fund Nebula and formalizing RegentQuant's research culture around first-principles analysis.
"We just have to think differently in order to stay competitive. Thinking differently means having curiosity and creativity."
Mission
To deliver consistent, sustainable asset growth, empowering our partners to achieve their own long-term financial goals.
Future Plan
RegentQuant plans to formalize as a Hong Kong entity in 2027, expanding access for qualified investors. We are building toward a $10 million capital base by 2028 while continuing to scale our strategy library and risk infrastructure.
