What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Chinese regulators previously imposed trading restrictions in Shanghai and Shenzhen on quantitative funds for breaking rules. Despite this, Lingjun Investment’s offshore arm has resumed fundraising, attracting over $300 million from US and Southeast Asian investors. The firm is also in advanced talks for a $150 million allocation from a Southeast Asian sovereign wealth fund.
