PEDaily, Zero2IPO, and the PEdata system compiled tens of thousands of investment data points from candidates over the past three years, comprehensively evaluating five major factors: number of personal investments, personal investment amounts, overall return levels, and the industry influence of the individual and their institution. From over 1,000 candidates, 100 outstanding investors were selected for achieving exceptional investment performance while driving tremendous progress in China's investment community.
