However, the post was deleted shortly afterward. CCTV reported that the commander of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy responded to the U.S. Secretary of Energy’s statement, saying:

With the rapid development of the domestic capital market, an increasing number of high-net-worth clients and professional investors are beginning to engage with products like quantitative private equity.
However, the unique complexity, professionalism, and innovative features of quantitative private equity products have also created an industry chain that is both growing rapidly and facing significant challenges.
From producers (private fund managers) to processors (FOF and MOM product creation institutions), then to distributors (sales and direct sales agencies), and consumers (investors), the entire industry chain of quantitative private equity not only covers all stages from production to consumption but also develops and expands independently, evolving into a unique system.
At the same time, because the development speed of these products far exceeds the cognitive iteration of ordinary investors, the entire high-end wealth management market is playing out a game of "transparency."
Investors in this space often fall into a kind of "visual illusion": they only see the soaring upward trend of the net value curve but overlook the complex cost structure behind this curve.
