What roles does CSOP Asset Management play in the EAM ecosystem?

Contrary to many who think that EAMs shouldn’t use ETFs for their HNW clients as it is considered as too “plain vanilla”, we believe that ETFs can allow investment managers to better manage investment portfolios.

At CSOP, we work with the DPM teams at several private banks as well as some EAMs to gain access to niche markets as well as use our leverage and inverse ETFs to enhance portfolio returns.

We understand that EAMs often manage portfolios for multiple clients with varying risk profiles and investment objectives. Our ETFs allow EAMs to efficiently diversify these portfolios by providing exposure to a wide range of asset classes, sectors, and geographies through a single investment vehicle.

Most EAMs may tailor investment portfolios to meet the specific needs and preferences of individual clients. Our ETFs offer flexibility in constructing customized portfolios by providing exposure to niche markets, themes, or investment strategies that align with client preferences.

We believe that at CSOP, our ETFs can serve as valuable tools for EAMs to construct diversified, cost-effective and customised investment portfolios that meet client objectives while effectively managing risk and enhancing liquidity.
