Outstanding shares of Huaan also reached a record 1.6 billion on June 20, jumping five-fold from the start of the year, he said.
"We saw a record trading of our fund immediately after the Brexit vote as it fueled bets that the global and local economies may suffer," Xu said by phone from Shanghai Monday.

The Gold Mine Barrick Might Regret Having Sold
K92 Mining is poised for production at its Papua New Guinea gold project and has just listed on the Toronto Venture exchange under the symbol KNT.V.
The gold mining startup came together during one of the toughest periods in mining history.
K92's main asset is the Kainantu project, a large high-grade gold resource with extensive infrastructure including underground mine development, a mill processing facility, a fully permitted tailings pond, and paved roads. The infrastructure means K92 can aim to restart mining in the near term with minimal capital costs and seek to grow through cash-flow funded exploration on the roughly 405-square kilometer property, considered prospective for additional discoveries.
