Charles Russell Speechlys advises Qraft Group on launch of the Qraft Soliton Fund

Charles Russell Speechlys has advised Qraft Technologies Inc., and other members of its Korean-based corporate group (the “Qraft Group”) on the establishment of the Qraft Soliton Fund, a Cayman Islands single-legged “master-feeder” structure ("The Fund").

The Fund’s investment strategy relies on a combination of advanced quantitative analysis and disciplined systematic investing driven by AI agents trained via deep and reinforcement learning processes. The Fund will invest in global listed equities, derivatives and fixed income. 

The Fund is managed in Hong Kong by portfolio managers within the Qraft Group, accredited to the SFC licences of OP Investment Management (“OPIM”). 

Gaven Cheong, Partner in the Financial Services Regulation & Funds team at Charles Russell Speechlys, comments: 

Foreign managers (from around the APAC region including Korea in particular) are increasingly looking to set up in Hong Kong. It was an absolute pleasure to be able to act as Lead International Counsel to the Qraft team with their market entry initiatives, and to help facilitate the launch of their first fund product in Hong Kong. Our international funds and regulatory practice is uniquely poised to assist these managers with their fund documentation and regulatory needs, and we look forward to many more such opportunities in the near future.

Marcus Kim, the CEO of Qraft Technologies Inc. comments:

As a startup fund, having professional and reliable partners is absolutely critical — and we’ve been fortunate to work with Gaven and the team at Charles Russell Speechlys. Their steady guidance, responsiveness, and deep expertise have helped us navigate the complexities of launching in Hong Kong with confidence. We’re truly grateful for their support during this important phase of our journey.

The team was led by Gaven Cheong, and supported by Didi Chan and Karen Austin, also in the Firm’s Financial Services Regulation & Funds team.
