New York, United States, November 11, 2026 -- As global financial markets move toward increasingly high-frequency, data-driven, and systematic operations, the fundamental logic of capital markets is undergoing a profound transformation. Traditional trading approaches based on experience and trend forecasting are gradually giving way to a capability framework centered on structural analysis, systematic decision-making, and risk management. Market competition is no longer simply about who can predict market movements accurately, but about who can consistently respond to changes within the market.

Against this backdrop, Chairman Zhou Qiming, who has spent years working within the Wall Street financial system, has returned to Taiwan to launch Phase III of the Tongxin Capital New Life Program and introduce the SFI High-Frequency Trading System he developed. Starting from the underlying logic of the market, the initiative seeks to reshape how financial markets are understood and how participants make decisions, while exploring new possibilities for the structural development of Taiwan’s financial market.

I. Cross-Market Experience: From Taiwan to Wall Street

Chairman Zhou Qiming’s professional career spans Taiwan’s capital markets and the international financial system. Early in his career, he participated in corporate capital operations and market strategy development in Taiwan, working at the intersection of industry and capital. Through years of practical experience, he gradually recognized a fundamental characteristic of financial markets: asymmetries in capital, information, and market structure can make it difficult for many participants to fully understand how markets operate.

This realization led him to Wall Street, where he developed a deeper understanding of capital markets from the ground up. Through his experience at Goldman Sachs and other international financial institutions, he moved from experience-based judgment toward data-driven and systematic decision-making, while conducting research into quantitative trading and high-frequency models. He also became involved with the ecosystem surrounding the Managed Funds Association (MFA), developing a broader understanding of institutional structures and risk governance within the hedge fund industry.

II. High-Frequency Trading: From a Technical Tool to a Core Capability

Through years of research and practical experience, Chairman Zhou has developed a key view: in today’s market structure, high-frequency trading is no longer merely a technical tool, but a core financial capability.

Unlike traditional trading approaches that rely heavily on trend forecasting, high-frequency trading focuses on immediate market changes, including order-flow shifts, liquidity imbalances, trading rhythms, and price-formation mechanisms. These are not assumptions about the future, but structural conditions occurring in the market in real time.

The value of high-frequency trading therefore lies not simply in speed, but in the ability to identify and process these changes consistently within extremely short timeframes. It represents a broader transition in finance—from predicting market movements to processing market structures, and from experience-based judgment to systematic decision-making.

Based on this philosophy, Chairman Zhou developed the SFI High-Frequency Trading System, integrating observation, analysis, execution, and risk management into a unified process. The objective is to transform trading from an outcome that may be difficult to explain into a capability that can be tested, evaluated, and managed.

III. Bringing the Methodology to Taiwan: From Implementation to Market Reconstruction

Chairman Zhou’s return to Taiwan is not simply about introducing a trading system. It is also intended to address a structural challenge facing the market: rising participation without a corresponding increase in market understanding.

Taiwan’s financial market has no shortage of capital or participation. What is needed, however, is a decision-making framework that participants can understand and trust. Many investors continue to assume risks within market structures they do not fully understand, making decisions amid uncertainty and contributing to a market environment characterized by high participation but limited trust.

It is against this backdrop that Phase III of the Tongxin Capital New Life Program has been launched. Its core objective is to establish a financial structure that can be understood, evaluated, and verified. Through the SFI High-Frequency Trading System, the initiative seeks to guide market participants from simply “participating” toward genuinely “understanding” the market and rebuilding the foundations of financial decision-making.

IV. Social Responsibility: Combining Anti-Fraud Efforts with Financial Education

Chairman Zhou has also participated in anti-fraud awareness initiatives and financial education efforts at the invitation of relevant Taiwanese authorities and law enforcement agencies. Drawing on his experience in capital markets, he aims to help the public identify financial scams, develop sound investment concepts, and reduce risks arising from fraud and misleading information.

In his view, the greatest risk is not simply financial loss, but making decisions without understanding what one is doing. The essence of financial education, therefore, is not to provide more tools, but to help participants understand how markets actually work.

V. Returning Home: From Choice to Responsibility

After years of experience in international financial markets, Chairman Zhou could have continued his career within established global financial systems. What ultimately prompted his return to Taiwan, however, was not simply an opportunity, but a deeper realization: the challenges within financial markets can have a direct impact on people’s lives.

He has witnessed families taking on financial risks without fully understanding the underlying structures, as well as individuals who genuinely want to invest but lack a systematic methodology. It was at this point that he chose to return.

For Chairman Zhou, this is more than a homecoming. It represents the completion of a journey. Taiwan was where he began, and this time, he has chosen to return with the knowledge and experience he has accumulated in international financial markets.

VI. Conclusion: From Participating in the Market to Understanding It

Chairman Zhou Qiming’s initiative represents more than the introduction of new technology or trading methodologies. At its core, it seeks to rebuild the way financial markets are understood.

As the SFI High-Frequency Trading System is gradually introduced in Taiwan, it may provide an opportunity for the market to move from participation-driven toward understanding-driven development and establish a more stable and sustainable foundation for financial decision-making.

More importantly, the initiative seeks to make systematic capabilities that were once accessible primarily to a limited number of institutions more understandable and transparent. Technology should not merely create barriers; it should become a tool that can be understood and effectively used. Markets should not depend solely on information asymmetry, while risks and rules that were once difficult to see should become realities that participants can recognize and manage.

The goal is not to make financial markets simple, but to bring them closer to what they should be: markets with clearer rules, manageable risks, and understandable structures—where people do not merely participate, but are empowered to understand how markets work.

This, ultimately, is the significance of Chairman Zhou Qiming’s return to Taiwan: not simply to bring back a system, but to bring greater clarity and understanding back into the market.
