In 2008, the company set up a joint venture in Hong Kong with Oriental Patron.[4][5] The joint venture was named CSOP Asset Management with China Southern Asset Management paying HK$140 million for a 70% stake and Oriental Patron paying HK$60 million for the remaining 30%.[4][5] CSOP Asset management currently has several ETFs on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. In December 2022, it launched the first Bitcoin and Ethereum futures ETFs in Hong Kong.[6]
