Going Asset Management Highlights AI Edge In Quantitative Investing

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 1 (Bernama) -- Going International Asset Management Limited (Going Asset Management) is highlighting the role of artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing in its investment strategy after its Going Investment Fund SPC - Going Algo SP2 won the Relative Value Award at the With Intelligence Hedge Fund Performance Awards | APAC 2026.

The award, presented in Hong Kong on Sept 24, recognises the fund’s performance in the relative value category, following its New Fund of the Year win last year. The latest recognition comes as quantitative investment strategies increasingly adopt advanced computing and AI capabilities to respond to rapidly changing market conditions.

Going Investment Fund SPC - Going Algo SP2 uses an AI-driven high-performance computing platform and ultra-low-latency trading infrastructure to identify and respond to market movements at the microsecond level. The fund executes a large volume of trades and systematically seeks incremental sources of return within a disciplined risk framework.

The approach was deployed amid heightened uncertainty across global markets in 2025, when market volatility created pricing dislocations that could generate arbitrage opportunities.

In a statement, Going Asset Management said the strategy’s relatively low correlation with broader market trends supported its ability to respond to such opportunities while maintaining a focus on risk-adjusted returns.

“This recognition is a strong validation of Going Asset’s philosophy of technology-driven investing with risk management at its core,” said Going Quant Chairman, David Wu.

Wu said Going Asset Management has increased its investment in the integration of large AI models and reinforcement learning algorithms, alongside broader applications of AI in strategy research and quantitative trading to accelerate strategy iteration and strengthen its adaptive capabilities.

The award was organised by With Intelligence, a global provider of alternative investment intelligence, with recipients assessed using objective performance measures including absolute returns and Sharpe ratios. The programme spans major hedge fund strategy categories across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, including equities, macro and relative value.

Going Asset Management received the Relative Value Award alongside global quantitative firms including Citadel, Point72 and AQR. The recognition places the fund’s technology-driven approach within a competitive international quantitative investment landscape.

Going Asset Management said it will continue to integrate AI and other technologies into its investment processes while maintaining its long-term investment approach.
