Atlas specializes in fixed income and equities derivatives, equity long/short, convertible bonds arbitrage, quantitative and macro trading strategies as well as discretionary portfolio management. Since its establishment in June 2020, Atlas has attracted more than USD 150 million in asset under management.

With the gradual recovery of global economic activities, the asset management industry will start a new chapter in 2022. Considering the favorable policies of the government, such as the establishment of LPF fund and the establishment of Hong Kong wealth management center, it is very likely that the asset management and family office industry will experience a rapid growth.

The synergy will enhance DL Holdings' comprehensive strength, expand the scale of asset management as well as accelerate the development of family office and investment banking business.
