Caixin: While achieving substantial returns across major global markets, high-frequency trading and quantitative investment firms maintain a low-profile and mysterious public image. For years, rumors about their employee compensation levels have circulated, but most remain unverified. However, due to regulatory requirements in different regions, these global companies are sometimes compelled to disclose human capital data in certain markets.
