Xiong Peng (熊鹏)
Mr. Xiong Peng manages one global-macro fund in China. He believes top-down investing and global asset allocations will make sense for emerging markets investors given the markets’ huge volatility. He is founder of Beijing SinoFin Company when he graduated from Peking University as Master in Finance in 2002. He is active in China’s strategy index and ETF industry and two stock indexes constructed by him,which follow the investing idea that business cycles determines the asset and stock performances, are listed in Shenzhen Stock Exchange with code 399644 and 399391. Previously, corroborating with Robert. Shiller and Zhiwu Chen of Yale University, Peng surveyed China’s institutional investors monthly and constructed China’s investor sentiment index for Yale. He has good publishes and often give talks in industries and academia. Except the global-macro fund, Peng also lead one team developing high-frequency trading strategy in China’s futures markets.
