Development Overview

Soros is the chairman of the board of directors of the LCC Soros Fund, and the private investment management office confirms it as a consultant to the Quantum Fund Group. The Quantum Fund is the oldest and largest fund in the Rogers Quantum Group and is generally considered to have the best performance in any of its 28 years of history in any investment fund around the world.

Quantum funds evolved from the Double Eagle Fund. In 1973, Soros renamed the company and changed it to Quantum Company, which was founded in 1969 by Soros and Jim Rogers, with a capital of $ 4 million. In 1973, the Saurus and Jim Rogers were renamed the Soros Fund with a capital of about $ 12 million. The The fund is set up in New York and its investors are foreign investors who are not US citizens, thus avoiding the supervision of the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Quantum funds invest in commodities, foreign exchange, stocks and bonds, and extensive use of financial derivatives and leveraged financing, engaged in a full range of international financial operations. Soros, with its extraordinary analytical skills and courage, led the quantum fund in the world financial markets again and again to climb and dilapidated gradually grow. He has repeatedly foreseen the extraordinary growth potential of an industry and company, resulting in excess returns in the rise of these stocks. Even in the bear market decline in the market, Soros also with its superb short selling skills and make money. After less than 30 years of operation, by the end of 1997, Quantum Fund has added value to nearly $ 6 billion worth of giant funds. The $ 10,000 that was injected into the Quantum Fund in 1969 had increased to $ 15 million at the end of 1996, an increase of 149 times.

Quantum funds, although only $ 6 billion in assets, but because of its needs can be leveraged financing and other means to achieve the equivalent of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of funds investment effect, and thus become an important force in the international financial markets. Several of the serious currency crises that took place in the 1990s were directly responsible for Soros and its quantum funds.

Quantum funds are high-risk funds, mainly borrowing in the world to invest in stocks, bonds, foreign exchange and commodities. The Quantum Dollar Fund is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which is principally engaged in raising funds. It is said that Soros named "quantum", is derived from Soros appreciated by a German physicist, the founder of quantum mechanics Heisenberg put forward the "uncertainty principle."

Cause a crisis

Quantum funds have become the focus of the international financial community, is due to the fund in the 20th century, 90 years by the Fund launched several large-scale currency sniper war. During this period, the Quantum Fund with its strong financial and vicious style, in the international money market stir up trouble, the basis of weak currency attack and often succeeded.

Europe
In Europe, the British pound crisis and the Italian lira crisis. In the early 1990s, the British pound exchange rate was artificially fixed at a high level, triggering international currency speculators, the quantum fund took the lead in the market, the large-scale sale of sterling and buy the German mark. The Bank of England, although the strong threw out the German mark to buy pounds and with the measures to raise interest rates, still lost to the quantum fund attack and retreated, the pound was forced to withdraw from the European currency exchange rate system and free float, just a month sterling exchange rate Fell 20%, while the Quantum Fund in this pound crisis to get hundreds of millions of dollars of profits. Prior to this, the Italian Lira also suffered the same fate, the same quantum fund also played a leading role.

America
In the Americas, the Mexican financial crisis. In 1994, Soros's Quantum Fund attacked the Mexican peso. Mexico's benign economic growth before 1994 was based on over-reliance on short-term foreign-funded loans. In order to control domestic inflation, the peso exchange rate was overvalued and linked to the dollar. By the quantum fund launched by the peso attack, so that the Mexican foreign exchange reserves in a short period of time exhausted, had to give up the dollar linked to the implementation of free floating, resulting in the Mexican peso and the domestic stock market crash, and quantum funds in the crisis The income is not cheap.

Asia
In Asia, the financial crisis in Southeast Asia began in 1997. Like many Mexican countries in 1994, many Southeast Asian countries, such as Thailand, Malaysia and South Korea, have long relied on short-term foreign loans to maintain a balance of payments, with high exchange rates and mostly fixed or linked exchange rates with US dollars or a basket of currencies, Money provides a good chance of hunting. Quantum funds played the role of a sniper, starting from a large number of short baht, forcing Thailand to abandon the long-standing fixed exchange rate linked to the dollar and the implementation of free float, which triggered an unprecedented financial crisis in Thailand. The crisis soon spread to all countries and regions where currency is freely convertible in Southeast Asia, forcing all the major currencies of Southeast Asia in addition to Hong Kong dollars in the short term. Southeast Asian countries, the collapse of the monetary system and the stock market and the resulting large foreign retreat and the enormous pressure of domestic inflation, to the region's economic development cast a shadow.

The end

In the past 31 and a half years of history, the average return on quantum funds as high as 30% or more, the quantum fund is also brilliant. However, since 1998, investment failures have resulted in significant losses in quantum funds.

First, Soros on the 1998 debt crisis in Russia and the yen exchange rate movements of the wrong judgments to quantum funds suffered heavy losses, after investing in US stock market shares also fell sharply. At this point, Soros Quantum Fund loss totaled nearly 50 billion US dollars, quantum fund strength hurt. April 28, 2000, Soros had to announce the closure of its two funds "Quantum Fund" and "quota funds", fund managers Drucken Miller and Roddy "get out of class".

Quantum Fund, the world-famous hedge fund, has come to an end. At the same time, Soros announced that some of the fund's assets were transferred to the newly established "Quantum Donation Fund" to continue operations; he stressed that the "Quantum Donation Fund" will change the investment strategy, mainly engaged in low-risk, low-return arbitrage transactions.
