Quantum fund is a high-risk fund, which mainly borrows money to invest in global stocks, bonds, foreign exchange and commodities. The Quantum Dollar Fund is registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, and mainly raises funds through private placement. It is said that Soros named it "quantum" because Heisenberg, a German physicist and founder of quantum mechanics, whom Soros admired, put forward the "uncertainty theorem". Soros believes that just as the physical quantum of particles cannot have a definite value, the securities market is often in an uncertain state, so it is difficult to measure and estimate accurately. QuantumFund and QuotaFund: Both belong to hedge funds. Among them, the leverage ratio of the former is 8 times, and the latter can reach 20 times, which means that the latter will have a higher rate of return than the former, but the investment risk is also greater than the former. According to Micropal's data, the risk fluctuation value of quantum funds is 6.54, while that of fixed funds is as high as 14.08.
Quantum Fund evolved from Double Eagle Fund. The Double Eagle Fund was founded by Soros and jim rogers on 1969 with a capital of 4 million US dollars. The fund was established in new york, but its investors are all foreign investors who are not American nationals, thus avoiding the supervision of the US Securities and Exchange Commission. 1973, Shuang Ying Fund was renamed Soros Fund with a capital of about120,000 USD. 1979, Soros renamed the company Quantum Company. By the end of 1997, Quantum Fund has become a giant fund with total assets of nearly $6 billion. By the end of 1996, 1 10,000 dollars injected by Quantum Fund had increased to 300 million dollars, an increase of 30,000 times.
The reason why Quantum Fund has become the focus of international financial circles is because Soros launched several large-scale currency sniper wars with this fund in the 1990s. During this period, Quantum Fund, with its abundant financial resources and fierce style, made waves in the international currency market and attacked currencies with weak foundations, which was successful repeatedly.
