CMC Singapore has announced a sponsorship deal with professional golfer James Leow. Leow won Singapore’s first men’s individual gold medal in golf at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games.

CMC Markets has been active with sports sponsorship in recent years. Earlier, the company extended its partnership with New Zealand’s professional rugby team, Blues, for another three years. The two initially signed the deal in February 2021 for two seasons, and the extension came as the original agreement ended. Before that, CMC Markets announced sponsorship of the 17-year-old motorsport racing prodigy Peter Vodanovich.

CMC Singapore Backs Golfer Leow

Leow recorded a final-round score of 65 to secure his Southeast Asian Games victory. After a college career at Arizona State University, he turned professional. In 2025, he won the Aramco Invitational on the Asian Development Tour, finishing the tournament 23-under, including a nine-under 63 in the final round. The victory earned him an Asian Tour card for 2026.

CMC Singapore confirmed the sponsorship in a statement. “We are supporting Leow as he takes on the Asian Tour this season,” the company said. Leow will carry the CMC Markets logo on his shirt during tournaments across Asia.

CMC Markets Launches Multi-Asset Retail Platform

The sponsorship comes as CMC Markets continues to expand its retail offerings. The firm recently launched a multi-asset platform that allows clients to hold equities and trade derivatives within a single account.

The platform provides access to over 12,000 global shares and ETFs with no trading commission and no platform or holding fees, though a 0.5% foreign exchange fee may apply on international transactions.

CFDs and options remain available alongside the new investing capability. The firm also set commissions to zero on UK and European share CFDs, excluding Greece, to allow clients to switch between outright equity positions and leveraged products at lower cost.

The launch replaces CMC Invest, the standalone investing sub-brand introduced in 2022, and comes amid increased investor activity moving capital from US markets into the UK and Europe.
