Alaric Tan Lee Kai
Chief Investment Officer (CIO) of Navigator Capital Academy | Co-Founder

Alaric Tan Lee Kai has over ten years of institutional-level investment and fund management experience, with long-term deep involvement in the operations of institutional capital, trade execution, and cross-asset strategy development. His professional background spans stocks, ETFs, derivatives, and multi-market interconnected strategies. He excels at building high-probability, replicable trading systems from the perspectives of capital structure and market behavior.

His core expertise focuses on the logic of institutional trading, including:

Institutional Accumulation & Phased Price Target Structuring

Market Behavior & Volume Interpretation in Capital Battle

Risk Control for Institutional Capital in Market-Neutral and Hedging Structures

Cross-Market Arbitrage & Liquidity Management Strategies

In the fields of ETF Fund Regulation and Institutional Asset Management, Alaric has long worked alongside compliance systems to implement strategic execution, balancing return stability, drawdown control, and capital efficiency, consistently delivering investment performance that meets institutional standards.

2020–2024 | Systematic Evolution of Institutional Capital Trading Framework
During this phase, Alaric led and refined a trading framework centered around the behavior of institutional capital. Key developments include:

Upgrading from “Single-Point Trading” to “Capital Rhythm Management”

Trading Logic Focused on Transaction Structure, Capital Flow, and Stage-Specific Objectives

Risk Diversification and Efficiency Enhancement through Multi-Account and Multi-Strategy Coordination

Execution Models Adapted to Different Market Regulatory Environments (Stocks / ETFs / Derivatives)

This framework emphasizes discipline, structure, and consistency in execution, aiming to avoid emotional trading. It ensures that each operation is based on a clear capital path and exit mechanism, providing institutional investors and advanced traders with a practical methodology for long-term operation.

2026 | Forward-Looking Capital Trading and Institutional ETF Allocation
Looking ahead to 2026, Alaric Tan Lee Kai is further focusing on upgrading the institutional capital trading framework. This includes refining institutional-level trading execution structures, deepening ETF-driven asset allocation and rotation strategies, and expanding into global macro hedging and cross-market capital management. The goal is to continuously strengthen the fund’s competitive edge in complex market environments.

Core directions include:

Systematic Upgrading of Institutional Capital Accumulation, Control, and Phased Profit Realization

Institutional-Level Allocation, Hedging, and Rotation Models Centered on ETFs

Global Macro Hedging and Capital Migration Strategies under Multi-Market Linkage

Maintaining Execution Discipline and Capital Efficiency Across Different Regulator Environments

At the execution level, the focus will be on in-depth research of market microstructures and institutional behavior. By meticulously analyzing transaction structures, order book changes, and liquidity distribution, the goal is to enhance the ability to judge key price levels and capital intentions. At the same time, the team will further strengthen deep liquidity management to accommodate the control requirements for large capital flows impacting price movements.

Additionally, the team will continue to push forward the development of customized ETF portfolios and structured investment solutions, offering more stable and replicable institutional-level strategies for investors with different risk preferences and capital sizes.

“The essence of the market has always been the battle between capital. True evolution lies not in chasing concepts, but in establishing a trading system that can adapt to the rhythm of institutional capital and operate in sync with global markets.”
— Alaric Tan Lee Kai

The core of this philosophy lies in deeply integrating mature institutional trading experience with an ETF-driven institutional operational framework, creating an investment methodology centered around structure, discipline, and rhythm. Under Alaric’s leadership, Navigator Capital Academy continues to solidify its position as a forward-looking, practical investment institution.
