根据新闻稿，该基金是一项货币市场投资，利用以太坊的分布式账本技术（DLT）提供现代方式

UBS Asset Management has officially announced the launch of a new investment fund known as the UBS USD Money Market Investment Fund Token, which is notably being referred to as uMINT.

瑞银资产管理公司 (UBS Asset Management) 正式宣布推出一款名为瑞银美元货币市场投资基金代币 (UBS USD Money Market Investment Fund Token) 的新投资基金，特别被称为 uMINT。

This fund is essentially a money market investment that utilizes Ethereum's distributed ledger technology (DLT) to provide a contemporary approach for institutional investors in managing their funds, as stated in a press release.

正如新闻稿中所述，该基金本质上是一项货币市场投资，利用以太坊的分布式账本技术（DLT）为机构投资者管理其资金提供现代方法。

Highlighting the increasing interest among investors in digital financial products, Thomas Kaegi, Co-Head of UBS Asset Management for Asia-Pacific, explained the rationale behind the fund's creation.

瑞银资产管理亚太区联席主管 Thomas Kaegi 强调了投资者对数字金融产品日益浓厚的兴趣，并解释了该基金创建背后的理由。

"We are seeing growing demand for tokenised financial assets across asset classes. By leveraging UBS’s global capabilities and partnering with our peers and regulators, we are now able to offer this innovative solution to our clients,” Kaegi stated.

Kaegi 表示：“我们看到各种资产类别对代币化金融资产的需求不断增长。通过利用瑞银的全球能力并与同行和监管机构合作，我们现在能够为客户提供这种创新解决方案。”

Through uMINT, investors can tap into UBS's cash management services, which are centered around secure money market instruments. These instruments are designed to cater to the conservative and low-risk needs of institutional investors seeking to preserve their funds.

通过uMINT，投资者可以利用瑞银的现金管理服务，该服务以安全货币市场工具为中心。这些工具旨在满足寻求保全资金的机构投资者的保守和低风险需求。

Furthermore, UBS plans to leverage both public and private blockchain networks to enhance its fund issuance and distribution capabilities. The uMINT fund is part of a broader initiative to expand UBS's digital services through a program called UBS Tokenize.

此外，瑞银计划利用公共和私人区块链网络来增强其基金发行和分销能力。 uMINT 基金是通过名为 UBS Tokenize 的计划扩展瑞银数字服务的更广泛计划的一部分。

Earlier in 2023, specifically in June, UBS had issued CNH 200 million in fully digital structured notes for a separate entity. They also achieved a significant milestone in November 2023 by completing the world's first cross-border repurchase transaction involving a digital bond, which was entirely executed on a public blockchain.

2023 年初，特别是 6 月，瑞银为一个独立实体发行了 2 亿人民币的全数字结构票据。他们还在 2023 年 11 月完成了全球首例涉及数字债券的跨境回购交易，实现了一个重要的里程碑，该交易完全在公共区块链上执行。

In addition, UBS is engaged in a project with the Monetary Authority of Singapore known as Project Guardian. As part of this initiative, they launched a pilot program for tokenized Variable Capital Company (VCC) funds in October 2023.

此外，瑞银还与新加坡金融管理局合作开展了一个名为 Project Guardian 的项目。作为该计划的一部分，他们于 2023 年 10 月推出了代币化可变资本公司 (VCC) 基金试点计划。

The uMINT fund will be made available through authorized distribution partners, enabling investors to easily access this new investment avenue. Following its acquisition of Credit Suisse early last year, the firm now boasts around $5.7 trillion in assets under management and spans over 50 countries.

uMINT 基金将通过授权分销合作伙伴提供，使投资者能够轻松获得这一新的投资途径。继去年初收购瑞士信贷之后，该公司目前管理着约 5.7 万亿美元的资产，业务遍及 50 多个国家。
