About Us
RegentQuant was founded by Zhengyang Yao, who wrote his first trading algorithm at 15. Born into the era of machine learning and open-source data, quantitative research isn't an acquired skill for him — it's a native language. What older firms learned to adopt, he grew up building.
With the founder's own capital at risk alongside investors, our incentives are fully aligned. A smaller asset base lets us harvest capacity-constrained alpha that billion-dollar funds are structurally forced to ignore — inefficiencies that vanish at scale but compound quietly at ours.
We believe systems should speak louder than credentials. Every metric on this site is calculated from real backtests, every methodology is documented. The data is the pitch.
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 RegentQuant Multi-Strategy 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.
