Singapore investors flock to US market as they eye higher investment returns

Moomoo Singapore unveils crypto trading at MooFest 2024

SINGAPORE, July 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Investors in Singapore are increasingly allocating more to the US market, according to data from Moomoo Financial Singapore Pte. Ltd. (Moomoo Singapore).

This was revealed by Mr Gavin Chia, CEO of Moomoo Singapore, in his keynote presentation at MooFest 2024 — Moomoo Singapore’s largest community event of the year.

“Investors are increasingly allocating more funds into key overseas markets, even as they retain Singapore stocks as a staple in their portfolio,” Chia said.

On average, Moomoo Singapore’s profitable clients in the first six months of 2024 allocated 75% of their equity portfolio to the US market, while Singapore stocks formed approximately 20% of their portfolio.

Winning Portfolio 

On a whole-of-portfolio basis, equities remain the most popular instrument for investors, forming 50% of a typical winning portfolio. Wealth management products also saw significant allocation.

“Investors are looking to generate higher returns by layering on exposure to key growth markets and sectors, such as US tech names, which saw exponential growth in the first half of the year. At the same time, they are also taking advantage of the higher-for-longer interest rate environment by putting their money in money market funds, given their relative safety and attractive returns,” Chia said.

For investors seeking more portfolio diversification, Chia announced that Moomoo Singapore will soon offer cryptocurrency trading on its platform, just months after receiving the Major Payment Institution (MPI) License from the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

“Cryptocurrency has become an increasingly popular asset class among investors globally, and we are thrilled to be able to meet the demands of our clients in every step of their investment journey,” Chia said.

Thinking Forward, Mastering the Future 

Held on 6 July 2024, the event was attended by nearly 3,000 investors — a threefold increase from MooFest 2023.

Among the exciting slew of activities was a series of panel discussions helmed by thought leaders from the financial sector, including a special panel comprising four global stock exchanges, including representatives from Singapore, Japan, and the US.

“This is the first time a financial institution in Singapore has brought together such a star-studded gathering of the brightest minds from key exchanges around the world, highlighting our commitment to play a key role in the local financial ecosystem and be the bridge between investors and the global investment community,” Chia said.

Hiroki Kawai, Senior Executive Officer (Equities, ETF Market Development, Financial Literacy Support and Equities Business Development), Japan Exchange Group, shared a compelling narrative of Japan’s stock market resurgence.

“Now is an opportune moment for retail investors to engage with the Japan stock market. Our corporate transformation initiatives and increased shareholder returns are catalysts for growth,” Kawai said.

He highlighted the strategic restructuring of market segments and the government’s push for asset-based income growth as pivotal elements driving this momentum. “Foreign investment is a vote of confidence in our economic policies,” he added, emphasising the global appeal of the Japanese market.

On the home front in Singapore, real estate investment trusts (REITs) and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have been the go-to investment options for investors here in today’s investment climate.

“Interest rates have somewhat peaked, and there’s a revived interest in REITs. For example, the latest Fraser Centerpoint Trust placement was 2.5 times oversubscribed, signalling strong investor confidence. This surge in demand indicates a renewed confidence in the stability and income-generating potential of REITs,” said Lily Chia, Head of Regional Equities & FICC Sales, SGX Group.

She also highlighted the growing trend towards passive investing. “The move towards passive investing is unmistakable,” Chia explained. “In a world of geopolitical and economic uncertainty, ETFs offer a sanctuary of stability and growth. Our strong suite of ETFs, which includes equity, fixed income, and commodities like gold, has performed exceptionally well, often outperforming traditional asset management strategies.”

Tech and Innovation as Key Drivers 

As a next-generation digitalised brokerage, Moomoo Singapore is a firm believer in the role of technology and education to empower our clients to meet their financial aspirations.

“Our clients are not just participants; they are pioneers. By democratising access to sophisticated tools and insights, we ensure our investors are well-informed decision-makers,” Echo Zhao, Country Head, Moomoo Singapore, said as part of the panel discussions.

She highlighted moomoo’s commitment to leveraging technology for investor education. “We collaborate with partners like Nasdaq to provide top-tier data and insights,” Zhao added. “Our platform offers a wealth of educational resources, from webinars to live seminars, ensuring our clients can make informed investment decisions.”

James McKeone, Vice President (Head of Investment Intelligence, APAC), Nasdaq, highlighted the critical role of innovation in driving U.S market performance. “US companies like Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft, and Amazon lead the world in innovation,” McKeone explained.

“This innovation translates into significant growth opportunities for investors. Since 2019, retail trading on US stocks has doubled, showcasing the global appeal and confidence in the US market.”

James also emphasised the importance of data and education in navigating the complexities of the U.S. market. “Working with Moomoo, we ensure that investors have access to the best market data,” McKeone said. “Our educational initiatives, including videos and content in local languages, help investors understand and leverage this data for informed decision-making.

He stressed that understanding the market depth is crucial. “In your moomoo app, for U.S stocks, you have 60 levels of pricing and quote information,” McKeone explained. “This market depth data allows investors to see under the surface, providing insights into support levels and market sentiment.”

Best AI Tools for Marketing Content (2026): CapCut Recognized for Faster AI-Powered Video and Image Creation by Better Business Advice

Published

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Better Business Advice has recognized CapCut in its 2026 coverage of the best AI tools for marketing content, highlighting its collection of AI-powered features for creating and editing videos, images, audio, and other campaign assets. The recognition reflects growing interest in tools that help transform creative concepts into usable marketing materials while reducing the manual work involved in production.

Best AI Marketing Tools

Seedance 2.0 – an AI video generation model that creates videos from text prompts or imagesSeedream – an AI image generation model that creates high-quality visuals from text prompts

AI-powered content creation is changing how businesses develop digital marketing campaigns. From promotional videos and product imagery to social media graphics and branded audio, organizations face growing demand for creative assets across multiple digital channels. Tools that simplify production and support faster experimentation are becoming an increasingly important part of modern marketing workflows.

CapCut offers a range of AI-assisted capabilities covering several stages of content creation. These include text-based video generation, AI image generation, background removal, image expansion, music generation, and photo animation. Together, the tools provide options for producing marketing assets for social media, digital advertising, product promotions, and other online campaigns.

AI Video Generation Supports Promotional Campaigns

Video is an important format for communicating product information, presenting services, and building audience engagement. However, producing video content regularly can require significant planning, editing, and creative resources.

CapCut’s Seedance 2.0 AI video generator supports prompt-based video creation. Users can describe a creative concept and generate video content that serves as a starting point for further development.

The capability can support promotional videos, product showcases, educational content, and social media campaigns. It also gives creators a way to explore different visual approaches during the planning stage before refining the selected direction.

For businesses producing content across multiple channels, AI-assisted video generation can help reduce the effort required to develop initial concepts. Generated material can then be reviewed and edited to align with campaign objectives, brand guidelines, and platform requirements.

Image Generation Helps Develop Marketing Concepts

Visual assets influence how products, services, and campaigns are presented to audiences. Developing suitable imagery often involves several rounds of brainstorming and creative testing before a final direction is selected.

CapCut’s Seedream AI image generator enables users to create images from text prompts. The tool can support concept drafts, campaign planning, and experimentation with different visual styles.

For example, a seasonal marketing campaign may require several approaches to backgrounds, compositions, and visual themes. AI-generated drafts can help illustrate those options before resources are committed to final production.

CapCut’s GPT Image 2 provides another option for generating images from natural language instructions. The feature can support the development of promotional graphics, campaign imagery, and other visual assets.

These tools help shorten the early stages of creative development by making it easier to turn written ideas into visual references. Human review remains important to ensure the resulting assets accurately represent the product and meet the campaign’s requirements.

Image Editing Simplifies Asset Preparation

AI image generation is only one part of preparing content for publication. Existing photographs and graphics often need adjustments before they can be used across marketing channels.

CapCut’s AI background removal tool helps separate subjects from their original backgrounds. This can be useful when preparing product images, promotional graphics, and other assets that require a different visual setting.

The AI Image Extender addresses the challenge of adapting images to different layouts. By generating content beyond an image’s original boundaries, the tool can help users adjust compositions for different formats without relying entirely on cropping or stretching.

These capabilities can support the preparation of visuals for social media posts, website banners, digital advertisements, and product promotions. They also provide options for repurposing existing creative assets instead of producing entirely new images for every placement.

AI Audio and Photo Animation Expand Creative Options

Marketing content often combines visuals, movement, and sound to communicate a message. Producing these elements separately can add complexity to the creative process.

CapCut’s SeedMusic AI audio generator supports AI-assisted music creation based on creative prompts. Generated music can be used as a starting point for videos, promotional campaigns, and other multimedia projects, subject to appropriate review and usage requirements.

The platform’s Photo-to-3D tool offers another way to adapt still images into more dynamic visual content. This capability can help transform existing photography into animated presentations for product showcases, social media, and digital promotions.

By supporting audio creation and image animation alongside video and image tools, CapCut provides additional options for developing varied marketing materials.

A Connected Workflow for Marketing Content

CapCut’s collection of AI-powered features supports several stages of campaign production within one creative environment. A project could begin with concept images generated through Seedream, followed by visual development with GPT Image 2. Background removal and image expansion can then help prepare assets for different placements.

Selected visuals can be incorporated into video projects using Seedance 2.0, while SeedMusic offers an option for developing accompanying audio. Photo-to-3D can provide another format for repurposing existing images.

Not every campaign requires all these capabilities. Their practical value depends on the content format, production requirements, and intended audience. Reviewing generated assets for accuracy, visual consistency, and suitability remains essential before publication.

Better Business Advice’s recognition of CapCut reflects the growing role of AI-assisted production in digital marketing. As businesses continue to develop content for multiple channels, tools that support video creation, image generation, editing, and multimedia production can help simplify creative workflows while leaving room for human direction and quality control.
