HONG KONG, BEIJING, and SHANGHAI, July 9, 2026 – Grace Investment Machine (GIM), an AI-native investment technology company, has successfully closed a US$20 million Series A financing round. This round was co-led by a major U.S. venture capital firm and Hony Capital, with additional contributions from IDG Capital and existing investor Monolith Capital. This marks GIM’s third funding round within its first year of operations.
Visionary Machine: Revolutionizing Investment AI
GIM is pioneering “Visionary Machines,” AI systems that transcend traditional investment research assistance. They autonomously generate, test, and refine investment hypotheses using market data, feedback loops, and coordinated agents.
Key Insights:
- The capital markets provide a dynamic learning environment, allowing every investment action to yield measurable feedback, which in turn enhances the investment strategy over time.
- “We believe investment AI is transitioning from merely assisting users to autonomously generating and testing hypotheses,” stated Jiahao Xu, CEO of GIM.
Advanced AI Systems and Shared Prosperity
The company is advancing in two areas:
- Foundation models tailored for capital markets.
- Multi-agent systems that can generate, validate, and evolve investment signals.
Their flagship paper, CogAlpha, accepted at the ACL 2026 main conference, introduces a seven-layer architecture that processes raw data into actionable investment signals. GIM’s broader mission—Shared Prosperity—aims to democratize access to evolving AI intelligence in investment, offering products that benefit a larger pool instead of a concentrated few.
Future Outlook
This financing round connects investors committed to both AI and capital markets, as GIM continues its research while actively deploying AI-driven strategies across various asset classes.
