According to the South China Morning Post, Seth Huang, who serves as the head of Aris Capital, asserted that it would be a mistake for Beijing to impose excessively tight regulations on quantitative trading, given the significant role the sector plays within the financial market. Huang noted that quantitative funds possess a distinct advantage over retail investors in China's capital markets, describing the current situation as resembling a conflict where some participants are equipped with machine guns while others are using butcher knives. Furthermore, Huang, who is also an associate adjunct professor of finance at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, indicated that the growth of this sector is largely attributable to the strong performance demonstrated by these funds.
