Shen Zhen, China
Jasper is a statistical arbitrage shop based in Shenzhen, China which manages US$1.5 billion in China's domestic equity markets. The firm is launching an offshore fund Jasper Argo Fund which seeks to provide higher risk-adjusted returns with lower volatility compared to Greater China region equities. The investment universe is comprised of individual equities and equity-related instruments of companies primarily in the Greater China region, including mainland China, Hong Kong, and the US. A strategic net exposure of 50% is targeted within a tactical range of 30% to 70% net exposure.
Jasper believes that A-share market inefficiencies and short-term arbitrage opportunities between A-shares and H-sharesoffer attractive opportunities for consistent excess returns and capital appreciation. Furthermore, given the often low or slightly negative correlation that exists between beta and alpha in the A-share market and given the relatively high cost of hedging, Jasper believes a long/short strategy is the optimal choice for investors looking to maximize risk adjusted returns in Greater China equity investments.
Jasper's co-founders have worked together for seventeen years:
1999: Launched Jasper Asset Management, a developed market statistical arbitrage hedge fund headquartered in New Jersey
2013: Returned to Shenzhen, China to launch Jasper Capital International to take advantage of alpha opportunities in China's retail-driven equity markets
2017: Founded Jasper Capital Hong Kong in Hong Kong, China
