AsianInvestor, the authoritative Asian asset management publication, recently announced the results of its 2025 Asset Management Awards. The CSOP USD Money Market Fund, based in Singapore, was awarded ​ Best Money Market Fund: Highly Commended​​ category for its outstanding performance. The AsianInvestor Asset Management Awards, now in its twentieth year, aim to recognize financial institutions that have demonstrated excellence in the asset management industry over the past year. The awards are widely acknowledged across the Asian financial markets. This is the first time that CSOP USD Money Market Fund has won an award, which shows that this product is recognised for its scale and performance in terms of scale and performance.

Launched in Singapore in 2022, the CSOP USD Money Market Fund seeks to provide investors with liquidity and returns comparable to USD deposit rates by investing in short-term money market instruments and debt securities. As Singapore’s first T+0 USD money market fund, it allows investors to subscribe or redeem fund units on the same day, making it a flexible cash management tool. The US Dollar is widely regarded as a safe-haven asset. Due to recent global geopolitical instability and sustained high USD interest rates, capital has continued to flow into USD money market funds. The CSOP USD Money Market Fund is Southeast Asia's largest USD money market fund, with Assets Under Management (AUM) reaching US$1.53 billion¹. The fund also offers the highest gross return among comparable funds in Southeast Asia, achieving a 7-day net yield of 4.47% (as of July 18, 2025).

About CSOP Singapore​​

CSOP Asset Management Limited ("CSOP"), established in Hong Kong in 2008, was the first overseas subsidiary founded by a mainland China public fund manager. It expanded into Singapore in 2018 to provide local investors with more convenient access to China investment opportunities.

Since entering Singapore in 2018, CSOP has become a leading ETF issuer in the country, recognized for its diverse and innovative product range. In 2020, the ICBC CSOP FTSE Chinese Government Bond Index ETF (USD Counter: CYB; SGD Counter: CYC) listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX), becoming one of the largest China government bond ETFs globally. In 2021, the CSOP iEdge S-REIT Leaders Index ETF (USD Counter: SRU; SGD Counter: SRT) listed locally and immediately set two records: it became the largest real estate investment trust (REIT) ETF by initial size listed in Singapore and the ETF with the highest first-day turnover on SGX.

In 2023, it launched the first Singapore-Shanghai ETF cross-listing products: the CSOP iEdge Southeast Asia+ TECH Index ETF (USD Counter: SQU; SGD Counter: SQQ) and the CSOP Huatai-PineBridge SSE Dividend Index ETF (SGD Counter: SHD). Both the CSOP FTSE Asia Pacific Low Carbon Index ETF and the CSOP iEdge Southeast Asia+ TECH Index ETF have proven highly popular with investors following their cross-listing into the Chinese mainland market, attracting significant capital inflows.
