Strategic Vision Investment Withdraws from Chinese Equities
Ken Xu's hedge fund, Strategic Vision Investment (SVI), has officially wound down its prominent Value Multiplier Fund, dedicated to investments in Chinese equities. The fund liquidated its holdings at the end of July, returning capital to investors amid concerns over rising geopolitical tensions and a challenging investment environment.
Background on SVI and Fund Performance
Founded in 2014, SVI previously managed over US$1 billion in assets, struggling to maintain growth as China’s economic challenges mount. Last year, the Value Multiplier Fund posted a 1.1 percent loss, while the Eurekahedge Greater China Hedge Fund Index dropped by 8 percent, reflecting the prevailing uncertainties
The Shift Towards a Multi-Family Office
Looking forward, SVI plans to pivot by establishing a multi-family office to manage wealth for affluent families, focusing on global alternative investments, and exploring emerging sectors like artificial intelligence and space technology.
Implications for Chinese Investment Landscape
This exit underscores the dwindling confidence among investors in Chinese markets, with many reallocating funds elsewhere due to ongoing uncertainties. SVI’s adjustment signals broader trends affecting hedge funds navigating the Chinese investment landscape.
