BODL Ventures Founding Partner: Legendary Quantitative Fund QRT Expands into Hong Kong Market and Initiates Crypto Recruitment

Odaily News Feng Liu, Founding Partner of BODL Ventures, disclosed on platform X that the legendary quantitative hedge fund QRT is ramping up its presence in Hong Kong. According to the information, QRT has signed a lease for six floors in Two IFC in Central, with operations expected to commence in the first quarter of next year. Concurrently, it is advancing its low-profile Crypto Desk business. In recent months, QRT's Hong Kong office has been continuously recruiting for roles related to crypto asset research, quantitative analysis, and trading. Although its crypto trading activities are rarely publicly disclosed, the industry widely believes that QRT is accelerating the expansion of its crypto data and quantitative teams. It is reported that QRT originated from Credit Suisse's London quantitative fund team and later achieved independence through a management buyout (MBO). Bloomberg once described it as a "mysterious quantitative fund rewriting the rules of the $4.5 trillion hedge fund industry," but its specific operations remain largely undisclosed to this day.
