CGS International Wealth Management Malaysia Sdn Bhd (“CGS Asset Management”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CGS International Securities Malaysia Sdn Bhd (“CGS MY”), launched two new wholesale fund-of-funds under their Cash Management Solutions suite – the CGS Ihsan Cash Fund and CGS Dynamic Cash Fund (“the funds”) – to meet the increasing demand for efficient, yield-enhanced high-liquidity investments. CGS Asset Management aims to raise RM1 billion in assets under management from their new Cash Management Solutions over the next year.
CGS Asset Management’s Shariah and conventional Cash Management Solutions are wholesale fund-of-funds designed to provide investors a one-stop access to a diversified portfolio. A minimum 90% of the funds will be invested in top-performing money market collective investment schemes (“CIS”). These liquid and low-risk, short-term money market CIS serve to preserve capital and support short-term cash flow needs with active allocation by fund managers to further optimise the funds’ yields. Both funds are tailored for sophisticated investors – individuals, businesses, corporates and institutions – looking for smarter ways to manage their cash.
Mr Alan Inn Wei Loon, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of CGS MY said, “CGS Asset Management is pleased to roll out our first Cash Management Solutions products. These cash fund-of-funds are the first of its kind in market and offer our investors access to a diversified portfolio of money market CIS via an optimised-allocation approach that allows our fund managers to enhance yield, while minimising single fund and portfolio risks. We have been rolling out different services and solutions under our Asset Management portfolio, such as our Single-Family Office solution, launched in May with the Malaysian government. With our current and upcoming suite of solutions, we are confident that we will be able to offer a comprehensive and tailored approach to asset management for our clients, from building their wealth, to optimising the yield on their short-term holdings and better manage their cash needs.”
The CGS Ihsan Cash Fund is Shariah-compliant, tailored for investors seeking to align their investment strategies with Islamic principles. The CGS Dynamic Cash Fund, meanwhile, offers a conventional structure. Both funds are managed with disciplined portfolio construction and monitored against parameters such as interest rates, fund manager performance, and liquidity cycles.
Key features of both funds:
- One-stop access to top-tier Money Market CIS in Malaysia
- Active management of portfolio with dynamic rebalancing based on yield potential and liquidity
- Optimised allocation strategy – targeting high-performing funds with sizeable AUM
- Daily T+2 liquidity ensuring timely access to cash when needed
- Available in both conventional and Shariah-compliant structures
The funds leverage CGS Asset Management’s experienced fixed income team and robust selection framework, ensuring each underlying investment meets stringent performance, governance, and liquidity standards. The Cash Management Solutions represent a natural extension of CGS Asset Management’s strategy to expand its portfolio of innovative investment solutions, supported by the global network and research strength of the CGS International Group.
The CGS Ihsan Cash Fund and CGS Dynamic Cash Fund are available starting 1 July 2025. Interested investors are advised to review the respective Information Memorandum and Product Highlights Sheet, accessible at www.cgsi.com.my.
