How a $10B AI fund outperformed every rival

Can artificial intelligence really make profitable investments?

The hedge fund behind DeepSeek just released its performance results — up 56.6% in 2025, making it the top quantitative fund in China. 

Here’s how you can use AI to find trades like this.

Few in the U.S. have heard of Liang Wenfeng. In China, he’s famous.

Liang founded his investment firm in 2016, focused on using AI models to guide trading decisions. Years of strong performance helped his firm attract more than $10 billion in assets.

His team uses Nvidia chips and proprietary algorithms to forecast stock and asset price movements — a data-driven approach that’s delivered consistent outperformance.

Then, in 2023, Liang launched DeepSeek — an AI large language model positioned as an open-source alternative to ChatGPT and Gemini. Its release briefly rattled U.S. tech stocks and marked a turning point in global AI competition.

Here’s what matters most:

One of the top challengers to ChatGPT was created by a hedge fund that uses AI to trade markets — and its 56.6% gain underscores just how powerful these systems can be.

My team has been developing a similar AI-driven trading model called the AI Profit Predictor, and after extensive testing, I’m finally ready to share it.
