While her Shanghai Banxia Investment Management Center only manages about 500 million yuan ($76 million), she says firms like hers are best placed to assess how China is driving the global economy.</p>\n<p>“We truly feel that Chinese funds have an obvious advantage judging corporate profits and commodity prices,” Li, 37, said in a phone interview from Shanghai. “For us, these are good times to make money.”</p>\n<p>Chinese macro hedge funds made an average 41% return in 2020, four times the global level, according to data from Shenzhen PaiPaiWang Investment &amp; Management Co. and Eurekahedge. The more than triple gain of Li’s Banxia Stable Fund put her firm at the top of rankings for such funds in China.</p>\n<p>The stellar year promises to save Li from wounds inflicted by an exodus of investors in 2019 when her 9% return -- still beating an 8.9% global average of peers, according to Eurekahedge -- was dwarfed by local mutual funds during a bull market. The setback forced her to rethink her initial strategy of emulating Ray Dalio’s Bridgewater, an approach that she says included diversifying to limit volatility and providing free research to attract institutional clients.</p>\n<p><b>‘Doesn’t Work’</b></p>\n<p>“The Bridgewater route doesn’t work in China,” Li said. Offering two complimentary research reports a month didn’t help bring new money, and big institutions also balked at her fund’s small size.</p>\n<p>When clients were pulling cash from Banxia Stable, Li put in some of her own, and added leverage of between 250% and 300%. The product, managing less than 200 million yuan, replicates asset allocations in her larger Banxia Macro Fund but increases exposure through margin-financed trades in instruments such as stock index and commodities futures.</p>\n<p>Last year’s success didn’t come easily for Li. After managing money at Bocom Schroder Fund Management early in her career, she won multiple industry awards for her 25% annualized returns running China’s first macro hedge fund at Honghu Investment Management Co. Yet losses in 2016 caused differences with her then-husband Liang Wentao, the firm’s founder. After they parted ways, the mother of two set up Banxia at the end of 2017 and started building client relations from scratch.</p>\n<p>“She is a very unique China macro manager with the ability to do focused and very deep macro research in specific areas, such as steel,” said William Ma, who was until recently chief investment officer of wealth manager Noah Holdings, which invested in Banxia in January 2018.</p>\n<p>The level of leverage in the revamped Banxia Stable is closer to what legendary investor George Soros outlined in his autobiography, Li said. If the shift sounds bold and simple, making the right moves during last year’s turbulence to achieve a 63% gain in the underlying strategy required sharp judgment.</p>\n<p>In January 2020, Li was among the earliest to turn short on stocks and commodities, taking note of not only emerging reports on the new coronavirus but also signs of a weakening economy. “Super-cheap” put options allowed her to add leverage that helped bring a 61% jump in the leveraged Banxia Stable in the first quarter as markets tumbled, she said.</p>\n<p><b>Among Best</b></p>\n<p>Li’s use of options to construct contrarian macro trades means “her return profile is negatively correlated” to global and local peers, said Ma, who has followed her performance since she worked at Honghu. “She is really one of the best macro hedge fund managers I have ever met,” he said.</p>\n<p>Along with almost 9,000 local players, Li is competing with more than 30 global firms that are making inroads into China’s 4.5 trillion yuan hedge fund market. Dalio has said he saw the need to invest “a significant portion” of his portfolio in Chinese assets, and Bridgewater raised 900 million yuan in its second China private fund in September, doubling assets.</p>\n<p>Bridgewater’s All Weather China strategy has posted annualized returns of 22% through July since its 2018 inception. That’s less than Banxia Stable’s 85% in the same period, Li said, while noting the strategies aren’t directly comparable.</p>\n<p>In a reminder of risks macro hedge funds face when they bet in the wrong direction, Bridgewater’s flagship Pure Alpha II fell 12.6% last year.</p>\n<p>More than other strategies, the performance of macro funds “depends a lot on the manager’s own judgment,” said Li Minghong, head of fund-of-funds investments at Panyao Capital in Shanghai.</p>\n<p><b>Rocky Quarter</b></p>\n<p>Banxia Stable fell 13% in the first three months of this year, in part because of an increase in steel prices. Its short positions in ferrous metals were hurt by China’s unexpected move to lower crude steel output and cut capacity, according to its quarterly investor letter. The fund broke even on bonds, and made a small profit on stocks even as the Shanghai Shenzhen CSI 300 Index declined 3%.</p>\n<p>Banxia wasn’t alone. More than 40% of Chinese hedge funds made a loss in the first quarter, although macro funds managed an average 1% gain, according to PaiPaiWang.</p>\n<p>Li and her peers face a challenge attracting investors in a nation where macro funds account for just 2% of the 65,129 local private securities funds tracked by PaiPaiWang. She said she’s now meeting more potential customers following last year’s performance, but fund raising remains tough, in part because of Banxia’s short track record. She hasn’t felt any impact from the collapse of U.S. family office Archegos Capital Management, saying her leverage is much lower and portfolio more diversified.</p>\n<p>The difficulties aren’t shaking her confidence in outperforming the likes of Bridgewater.</p>\n<p>“They should just hire people like me,” she said. “But I won’t work for them.”</p>\n<p>(Updates with first-quarter performance of Chinese hedge funds in the fourth-to-last paragraph)</p>","source":"lsy1584095487587","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

After managing money at Bocom Schroder Fund Management early in her career, she won multiple industry awards for her 25% annualized returns running China’s first macro hedge fund at Honghu Investment Management Co. Yet losses in 2016 caused differences with her then-husband Liang Wentao, the firm’s founder. After they parted ways, the mother of two set up Banxia at the end of 2017 and started building client relations from scratch.\n“She is a very unique China macro manager with the ability to do focused and very deep macro research in specific areas, such as steel,” said William Ma, who was until recently chief investment officer of wealth manager Noah Holdings, which invested in Banxia in January 2018.\nThe level of leverage in the revamped Banxia Stable is closer to what legendary investor George Soros outlined in his autobiography, Li said. If the shift sounds bold and simple, making the right moves during last year’s turbulence to achieve a 63% gain in the underlying strategy required sharp judgment.\nIn January 2020, Li was among the earliest to turn short on stocks and commodities, taking note of not only emerging reports on the new coronavirus but also signs of a weakening economy. “Super-cheap” put options allowed her to add leverage that helped bring a 61% jump in the leveraged Banxia Stable in the first quarter as markets tumbled, she said.\nAmong Best\nLi’s use of options to construct contrarian macro trades means “her return profile is negatively correlated” to global and local peers, said Ma, who has followed her performance since she worked at Honghu. “She is really one of the best macro hedge fund managers I have ever met,” he said.\nAlong with almost 9,000 local players, Li is competing with more than 30 global firms that are making inroads into China’s 4.5 trillion yuan hedge fund market. Dalio has said he saw the need to invest “a significant portion” of his portfolio in Chinese assets, and Bridgewater raised 900 million yuan in its second China private fund in September, doubling assets.\nBridgewater’s All Weather China strategy has posted annualized returns of 22% through July since its 2018 inception. That’s less than Banxia Stable’s 85% in the same period, Li said, while noting the strategies aren’t directly comparable.\nIn a reminder of risks macro hedge funds face when they bet in the wrong direction, Bridgewater’s flagship Pure Alpha II fell 12.6% last year.\nMore than other strategies, the performance of macro funds “depends a lot on the manager’s own judgment,” said Li Minghong, head of fund-of-funds investments at Panyao Capital in Shanghai.\nRocky Quarter\nBanxia Stable fell 13% in the first three months of this year, in part because of an increase in steel prices. Its short positions in ferrous metals were hurt by China’s unexpected move to lower crude steel output and cut capacity, according to its quarterly investor letter. The fund broke even on bonds, and made a small profit on stocks even as the Shanghai Shenzhen CSI 300 Index declined 3%.\nBanxia wasn’t alone. More than 40% of Chinese hedge funds made a loss in the first quarter, although macro funds managed an average 1% gain, according to PaiPaiWang.\nLi and her peers face a challenge attracting investors in a nation where macro funds account for just 2% of the 65,129 local private securities funds tracked by PaiPaiWang. She said she’s now meeting more potential customers following last year’s performance, but fund raising remains tough, in part because of Banxia’s short track record. She hasn’t felt any impact from the collapse of U.S. family office Archegos Capital Management, saying her leverage is much lower and portfolio more diversified.\nThe difficulties aren’t shaking her confidence in outperforming the likes of Bridgewater.\n“They should just hire people like me,” she said. “But I won’t work for them.”\n(Updates with first-quarter performance of Chinese hedge funds in the fourth-to-last paragraph)","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":265,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":344200958,"gmtCreate":1618408693374,"gmtModify":1704710380628,"author":{"id":"3581500453931445","authorId":"3581500453931445","name":"niker","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bae3fe1d89f745715207e114dfcc649f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581500453931445","authorIdStr":"3581500453931445"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow - please help like","listText":"Wow - please help like","text":"Wow - please help like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/344200958","repostId":"1114138942","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1114138942","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1618405775,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1114138942?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-14 21:09","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Chinese Tesla rival Xpeng Motors launches sedan with new driverless features as EV race heats up","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1114138942","media":"cnbc","summary":"KEY POINTSXpeng Motors launched the P5 on Wednesday, a sedan with new self-driving features.The P5 i","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTSXpeng Motors launched the P5 on Wednesday, a sedan with new self-driving features.The P5 is equipped with so-called Lidar to aid Xpeng's driverless system called XPILOT.Xpeng is hoping to ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/14/xpeng-motors-launches-p5-lidar-electric-car-to-rival-tesla-in-china.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

In comparison, Tesla’s Model 3 in China starts at 249,900 yuan.Wu said the P5 would roll out to customers in China in the third or fourth quarter of this year. Xpeng has also expanded into Norway, its first international market. Wu said that the company will expand its footprint in northern Europe and the P5 would eventually be launched there. He gave no timelines on when this might happen.Driverless techXpeng has tried to push the advancement of its self-driving features to differentiate from its competitors.The P5 is equipped with so-called Lidar, or Light Detection and Ranging technology. Lidar systems send out lasers that bounce back and can measure distance. Those returning beams are processed by an algorithm to create a three dimensional representation of surrounding objects — a key technology for autonomous vehicles to understand their environment.Xpeng claims that Lidar can help the P5 distinguish pedestrians, cyclists and scooters as well as road works — even at night and under low-light conditions.On Wednesday, the Chinese vehicle maker also released a new version ofXPILOT, its so-called advanced driver-assistancesystem (ADAS). This refers to a system with some autonomous features but where a driver is still required.XPILOT 3.5 will have an updated version of afeature called Navigation Guided Pilot or NGP, which allows users to autonomously do tasks such as changing lanes or overtaking cars. Some of these features will work on city roads for the first time. Previously, NGP was just designed for highways.Xpeng’s XPILOT is an attempt to compete with Tesla’s own ADAS system called Autopilot as well as other rivals like Nio with its Nio Pilot.“In P7 we launched NGP … only on highways. But highway driving only occupies like 10% of peoples’ driving time. Being able to bring the technology and the capability to cities is very important to make the feature more usable and more compelling to Chinese customers,” Wu said.In the city, Wu said the situation was becoming “exponentially” more difficult, citing challenges in ensuring the car can recognize objects in its path accurately and reliably. “We believe with Lidar … it will help us achieve our goal much faster and gives us an edge against our competitors.”Competition heating upChina’s electric car market is expected to pick up this year with 1.9 million units expected to be sold, growing 51% year-on-year, according research firm Canalys.Various incentives from the government, such as subsidies, have helped China become the biggest electric car market in the world. With that, a number of start-ups have grown rapidly such as Xpeng, Nio and Li Auto.But these players are competing against traditional automakers who are boosting their electric vehicle capabilities as well as other technology firms entering into the fray.Chinese search giantBaiduteamed up with Geely to create astandalone electric car company, while smartphone giantXiaomiannounced plans tolaunch an electric car business.Last year, Xpeng delivered 27,041 vehicles, more than doubling from 2019. In comparison, Tesla’s Model 3 alone sold more than 137,000 units in 2020 in China.Wu said Xpeng has developed a lot of technology which he believes gives the company an edge.“We are definitely a step, a few steps ahead, you know as compared to most of our competitors. So we are pretty confident that we can win this race even with more newcomers into this space,” Wu told CNBC.“We believe that with this kind of focus on the Chinese market, Chinese customers, Chinese road conditions and also the different technologies we bring together to make the tech better fitted to China market, I think we do have an edge as compared to Tesla in the China market.”Xpeng rose about 2% in premarket trading.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":436,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":344663396,"gmtCreate":1618406909215,"gmtModify":1704710310974,"author":{"id":"3581500453931445","authorId":"3581500453931445","name":"niker","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bae3fe1d89f745715207e114dfcc649f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581500453931445","authorIdStr":"3581500453931445"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hello, new to Tiger","listText":"Hello, new to Tiger","text":"Hello, new to Tiger","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/344663396","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":173,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":344200958,"gmtCreate":1618408693374,"gmtModify":1704710380628,"author":{"id":"3581500453931445","authorId":"3581500453931445","name":"niker","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bae3fe1d89f745715207e114dfcc649f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581500453931445","authorIdStr":"3581500453931445"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow - please help like","listText":"Wow - please help like","text":"Wow - please help like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/344200958","repostId":"1114138942","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1114138942","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1618405775,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1114138942?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-14 21:09","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Chinese Tesla rival Xpeng Motors launches sedan with new driverless features as EV race heats up","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1114138942","media":"cnbc","summary":"KEY POINTSXpeng Motors launched the P5 on Wednesday, a sedan with new self-driving features.The P5 i","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTSXpeng Motors launched the P5 on Wednesday, a sedan with new self-driving features.The P5 is equipped with so-called Lidar to aid Xpeng's driverless system called XPILOT.Xpeng is hoping to ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/14/xpeng-motors-launches-p5-lidar-electric-car-to-rival-tesla-in-china.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

So we are pretty confident that we can win this race even with more newcomers into this space,” Wu told CNBC.“We believe that with this kind of focus on the Chinese market, Chinese customers, Chinese road conditions and also the different technologies we bring together to make the tech better fitted to China market, I think we do have an edge as compared to Tesla in the China market.”Xpeng rose about 2% in premarket trading.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":436,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":344292041,"gmtCreate":1618409133083,"gmtModify":1704710401291,"author":{"id":"3581500453931445","authorId":"3581500453931445","name":"niker","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bae3fe1d89f745715207e114dfcc649f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581500453931445","authorIdStr":"3581500453931445"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Following","listText":"Following","text":"Following","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/344292041","repostId":"2127026782","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2127026782","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1618395180,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2127026782?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-14 18:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nikola teams with CNH's IVECO, OGE on developing a hydrogen transportation network","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2127026782","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Shares of Nikola Corp. $(NKLA)$ jumped 5.31% in premarket trading Wednesday, after the battery-elect","content":"<p>Shares of Nikola Corp. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NKLA\">$(NKLA)$</a> jumped 5.31% in premarket trading Wednesday, after the battery-electric and hydrogen-electric vehicle maker announced a collaboration agreement with <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CNHI\">CNH Industrial N.V.</a>'s IVECO and OGE to establish a business structure for the transportation of hydrogen.</p><p>OGE operates a natural gas pipeline network in Germany.

That’s less than Banxia Stable’s 85% in the same period, Li said, while noting the strategies aren’t directly comparable.\nIn a reminder of risks macro hedge funds face when they bet in the wrong direction, Bridgewater’s flagship Pure Alpha II fell 12.6% last year.\nMore than other strategies, the performance of macro funds “depends a lot on the manager’s own judgment,” said Li Minghong, head of fund-of-funds investments at Panyao Capital in Shanghai.\nRocky Quarter\nBanxia Stable fell 13% in the first three months of this year, in part because of an increase in steel prices. Its short positions in ferrous metals were hurt by China’s unexpected move to lower crude steel output and cut capacity, according to its quarterly investor letter. The fund broke even on bonds, and made a small profit on stocks even as the Shanghai Shenzhen CSI 300 Index declined 3%.\nBanxia wasn’t alone. More than 40% of Chinese hedge funds made a loss in the first quarter, although macro funds managed an average 1% gain, according to PaiPaiWang.\nLi and her peers face a challenge attracting investors in a nation where macro funds account for just 2% of the 65,129 local private securities funds tracked by PaiPaiWang. She said she’s now meeting more potential customers following last year’s performance, but fund raising remains tough, in part because of Banxia’s short track record. She hasn’t felt any impact from the collapse of U.S. family office Archegos Capital Management, saying her leverage is much lower and portfolio more diversified.\nThe difficulties aren’t shaking her confidence in outperforming the likes of Bridgewater.\n“They should just hire people like me,” she said. “But I won’t work for them.”\n(Updates with first-quarter performance of Chinese hedge funds in the fourth-to-last paragraph)","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":265,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":344663396,"gmtCreate":1618406909215,"gmtModify":1704710310974,"author":{"id":"3581500453931445","authorId":"3581500453931445","name":"niker","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bae3fe1d89f745715207e114dfcc649f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581500453931445","authorIdStr":"3581500453931445"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hello, new to Tiger","listText":"Hello, new to Tiger","text":"Hello, new to Tiger","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/344663396","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":173,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
