HONG KONG, Sept. 2, 2025 \/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0OP Investment Management Ltd. (“OPIM”), a leading Asia-based fund platform, has partnered with Qraft Capital (BVI) Limited (“Qraft”) to launch the Qraft Soliton Master Fund (“the Fund”). This Cayman-domiciled fund employs an AI-driven, multi-strategy investment approach to generate sustainable returns by continuously iterating quantitative strategies and identifying undiscovered dislocations in liquid equity derivatives markets across Korea, Hong Kong\u00a0SAR, the U.S., and Europe. The Fund focuses on systematic strategies, including equity long-short (market-neutral), mid-frequency long-biased, and arbitrage.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Qraft Technologies, headquartered in Seoul with affiliates in Asia-Pacific and the U.S., is a global pioneer in AI-powered asset management. With SoftBank Group’s USD146M\u00a0Series C investment in January 2022, Qraft’s innovative technology underpins a range of investment products, including U.S.-listed AI-driven ETFs, setting new benchmarks for machine learning in portfolio construction and trading.<\/p>\n
“This partnership brings\u00a0Qraft’s proprietary AI-driven strategy to an institutional framework, meeting the growing demand for adaptable, cutting-edge investment solutions,” said Jae Hyeok Heo, CIO of the Fund. “The Fund leverages our expertise in AI pattern recognition and disciplined quantitative processes to deliver value to global investors.”<\/p>\n
The Fund offers institutional and professional investors access to\u00a0Qraft’s proprietary approach, previously closed off to external investors, through an accessible Cayman structure. OPIM’s robust platform provides the infrastructure and oversight needed to connect innovative managers like Qraft with international capital.<\/p>\n
“South Korea’s investment talent has long been\u00a0underappreciated, often overshadowed by outdated perceptions of its capital markets,” said Alvin Fan, CEO of OPIM. “The KOSPI’s strong year-to-date outperformance in 2025, driven by robust corporate governance reforms, has brought renewed global attention to the market. This shines a spotlight on South Korea’s exceptionally skilled money managers, whose expertise surpasses market expectations, creating a compelling opportunity for global investors seeking alpha through Qraft’s AI-driven innovation.”<\/p>\n
