2020–2024 | Systematic Evolution of Institutional Capital Trading Framework
During this phase, Alaric led and refined a trading framework centered around the behavior of institutional capital. Key developments include:
Upgrading from “Single-Point Trading” to “Capital Rhythm Management”
Trading Logic Focused on Transaction Structure, Capital Flow, and Stage-Specific Objectives
Risk Diversification and Efficiency Enhancement through Multi-Account and Multi-Strategy Coordination
Execution Models Adapted to Different Market Regulatory Environments (Stocks / ETFs / Derivatives)
This framework emphasizes discipline, structure, and consistency in execution, aiming to avoid emotional trading. It ensures that each operation is based on a clear capital path and exit mechanism, providing institutional investors and advanced traders with a practical methodology for long-term operation.
2026 | Forward-Looking Capital Trading and Institutional ETF Allocation
Looking ahead to 2026, Alaric Tan Lee Kai is further focusing on upgrading the institutional capital trading framework. This includes refining institutional-level trading execution structures, deepening ETF-driven asset allocation and rotation strategies, and expanding into global macro hedging and cross-market capital management. The goal is to continuously strengthen the fund’s competitive edge in complex market environments.
Core directions include:
Systematic Upgrading of Institutional Capital Accumulation, Control, and Phased Profit Realization
Institutional-Level Allocation, Hedging, and Rotation Models Centered on ETFs
Global Macro Hedging and Capital Migration Strategies under Multi-Market Linkage
Maintaining Execution Discipline and Capital Efficiency Across Different Regulator Environments
At the execution level, the focus will be on in-depth research of market microstructures and institutional behavior. By meticulously analyzing transaction structures, order book changes, and liquidity distribution, the goal is to enhance the ability to judge key price levels and capital intentions. At the same time, the team will further strengthen deep liquidity management to accommodate the control requirements for large capital flows impacting price movements.
Additionally, the team will continue to push forward the development of customized ETF portfolios and structured investment solutions, offering more stable and replicable institutional-level strategies for investors with different risk preferences and capital sizes.
“The essence of the market has always been the battle between capital. True evolution lies not in chasing concepts, but in establishing a trading system that can adapt to the rhythm of institutional capital and operate in sync with global markets.
