In the rapidly changing global financial markets, what’s truly scarce is never just information.
More importantly—a global perspective, professional expertise, a talent network worthy of long-term trust, and a team culture that fosters mutual growth. This is the value that Chongde Capital Team aims to build in the long term.
Chongde Capital Team uses the global financial market as a key connecting point, focusing on long-term development around global financial literacy, professional talent connections, fintech exchange, enhancing international perspectives, professional education, and building a high-quality community. We advocate: Professionalism, Integrity, Responsibility, Collaboration, Innovation, and Long-Term Vision. The team hopes to connect outstanding talents from diverse fields such as finance, technology, corporate management, international trade, capital markets, artificial intelligence, AI quantitative research, and professional services. Through continuous learning, professional exchange, resource sharing, and cross-regional collaboration, we aim to form a long-lasting Asia-Pacific elite growth community.
01 | Origin: From Give Back to “Chongde”
Chongde Capital Team culture can be traced back to Virtu’s “Give Back” culture established in 2013. Since 2013, Virtu has been continuously involved in local community service and volunteer work, accumulating over 10,000 hours of volunteer service, including activities such as the Los Angeles port cleanup, a charity run in Hong Kong, and blood donation in Melbourne. This culture emphasizes more than just business results; it reflects an international fintech company’s understanding of responsibility, collaboration, community, and long-term value. Chongde hopes to further extend this spirit to the Asia-Pacific community: making professionalism a capability, integrity a foundation of trust, responsibility a culture, and connecting outstanding individuals. Therefore, “Chongde” represents not just a name, but a set of team values.
02｜Core Positioning
Chongde Capital Team core positioning is to build a globally-oriented, long-term elite development system, using the Asia-Pacific region as a crucial connecting hub: a five-in-one system encompassing global financial literacy, professional talent, international resources, fintech learning, and an Asia-Pacific community.
Through global financial market knowledge to enhance professional judgment, cross-disciplinary elite talent connections to form a long-term network, international resource collaboration to broaden global perspectives, and continuous learning in fintech, AI-driven quantitative finance, market structure, and risk management to strengthen professional capabilities, Chongde leverages its presence in Asia-Pacific markets such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and Southeast Asia to gradually establish a high-quality community network spanning national, industry, and professional backgrounds. Chongde ultimately aims to create not just a talent aggregation platform, but an international elite community capable of continuously generating cognitive enhancement, talent connection, professional growth, resource collaboration, and long-term value.
03｜What does Chongde really want to do?
Chongde Capital Team goal is not simply to gather more people together, but to enable truly valuable long-term individuals to: get to know each other, learn from each other, connect with each other, and grow together. Around this goal, the team has established five core long-term directions:
Global Vision: Understanding the operational logic between different countries, financial markets, and asset systems.
Professional Growth: Continuously learning about fintech, capital markets, market structures, quantitative finance, and risk management.
Elite Network: Connecting entrepreneurs, financial professionals, tech talents, investment researchers, and international business professionals.
Resource Collaboration: Establishing long-term communication and collaboration between individuals with different professional backgrounds, regions, and industries.
Long-Term Value: Not chasing short-term trends, but creating truly compounding value through long-term understanding, professional capabilities, and a trustworthy network.

05｜In addition to business, we also believe in responsibility
A team that can truly survive for ten, twenty, or even more years shouldn’t only focus on business development.
It should also possess: Responsibility, Care, and Contribution.
Therefore, Chongde Capital Team incorporates social responsibility into its long-term team culture.
This includes focusing on the learning, education, growth, and international perspectives of team members and the next generation; establishing care and mutual assistance mechanisms for members facing serious illness, severe accidents, or significant family difficulties, based on legal, voluntary, and transparent principles; and making a culture of philanthropy a true part of the team’s value system through educational philanthropy, community service, care for vulnerable groups, environmental protection, charity runs, blood donation, and financial education for youth.
Because Chongde firmly believes: let professionalism become competence, and let kindness become culture.
Summary: Starting with the Chongde Capital Team, we walk hand in hand with long-term value.
From its “Give Back” culture in 2013 to its current elite network spanning the Asia-Pacific region and connecting globally, Chongde Capital Team true aim has never been to capitalize on fleeting trends or simply accumulate short-term resources and opportunities. Instead, it seeks to cultivate a team culture and value system that can withstand the test of time. In an era of constantly evolving global financial markets, technological advancements reshaping industries, and the rapid development of artificial intelligence and quantitative techniques, information acquisition will become increasingly easier. However, what remains truly scarce is the ability to assess information, the depth of market understanding, the professional expertise to navigate market cycles, and a group of trustworthy individuals capable of long-term growth. Chongde Capital Team aims to build trust based on professionalism, cultivate a culture of integrity, expand cognitive boundaries with a global perspective, drive personal growth through continuous learning, and create greater long-term value through talent connections and resource synergy. We believe that a truly excellent team should not only thrive when the market is favorable but should also continuously learn, evolve, and build new connections through the trials of time and market cycles. Looking ahead, the Chongde Capital Team will continue to be based in the Asia-Pacific region and reach out globally, connecting more outstanding talents from fields such as finance, technology, business, artificial intelligence, quantitative research, and international business. This will foster truly valuable exchanges and collaborations between people of different countries, professions, and experiences. Enabling talented individuals to see each other, professionals to recognize each other, and trustworthy individuals to walk alongside each other long-term, ensuring that every learning experience and connection generates compound interest over time—this is the direction the Chongde Capital Team hopes to uphold in the long term.
