Qraft Technologies, a company specialising in artificial intelligence solutions for investment, has announced the launch of the First Financial Quantitative Japan Fund, developed in collaboration with First Securities Investment Trust (FSITC).

This new fund integrates Qraft’s AI models to enhance investment management through sophisticated quantitative strategies, focusing on stock selection and risk management.

The fund provides investors with access to the Japanese equity market, which is currently seen as attractive due to favourable stock valuations. The AI models deployed by Qraft are tailored to meet the fund’s investment objectives, which include navigating the Japanese market, identifying undervalued stocks, and managing risk effectively.

Qraft Technologies CEO Marcus Kim said: “The launch of the First Financial Quantitative Japan Fund is a natural extension of our commitment to bringing AI-driven financial solutions to the forefront of the asset management industry. These particular AI models are designed to capitalise on current market conditions in Japan, identifying opportunities where traditional analysis might fall short. We are excited to provide investors with a powerful tool for long-term growth.”

As Japan strengthens its role in the global technology sector, particularly in semiconductors and data centres, large-cap technology companies are increasing their presence in the country, contributing to its economic growth.

The First Financial Quantitative Japan Fund aims to leverage these developments by concentrating on sectors likely to benefit from these trends.

FSITC chairman Yao Zhao-wen said: “Our collaboration with Qraft Technologies goes beyond just AI-themed investments and positions us as a leading player in the local fund industry.”
