Going Asset Management Wins APAC Relative Value Award

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 1 (Bernama) -- Going International Asset Management Limited (Going Asset Management) has secured the Relative Value Award at the With Intelligence Hedge Fund Performance Awards | APAC 2026, reinforcing the investment manager’s growing recognition within the Asia-Pacific (APAC) hedge fund industry.

Held in Hong Kong on Sept 24, the awards recognised the Going Investment Fund SPC - Going Algo SP2 after its New Fund of the Year win last year. The latest accolade marks the fund’s progression from an emerging strategy to one characterised by greater strategic depth and resilience across market cycles.

Organised by With Intelligence, the awards assess hedge funds using objective performance metrics including absolute returns and Sharpe ratios. The programme covers multiple strategy categories across the APAC hedge fund landscape, including equities, macro and relative value.

Going Asset Management received the Relative Value Award alongside leading global quantitative firms including Citadel, Point72 and AQR, placing its strategy within a broader international industry benchmark, according to a statement.

The fund’s performance came amid heightened uncertainty across global markets in 2025. Going Investment Fund SPC - Going Algo SP2 employed an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven high-performance computing platform and ultra-low-latency trading infrastructure to identify and respond to market movements at the microsecond level.

The strategy executes a high volume of trades while systematically seeking incremental sources of return within a disciplined risk framework. Its relatively low correlation with broader market trends also supported its ability to identify arbitrage opportunities arising from pricing dislocations during periods of market volatility.

“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 the firm has increased investment in integrating large AI models and reinforcement learning algorithms while expanding the application of AI across strategy research and quantitative trading to improve strategy iteration efficiency and adaptive capabilities for global investors operating in increasingly complex markets.

Looking ahead, Going Asset Management said it will maintain its long-term investment philosophy while continuing to invest in technology and innovation, with the latest award highlighting the fund’s development and its approach to combining quantitative capabilities with disciplined risk management.
