Bursa Malaysia RAM Capital Sdn Bhd (BR Capital), a joint venture entity between Bursa Malaysia Berhad (Bursa Malaysia or the Exchange) and RAM Holdings Berhad (RAM), recently signed a Memorandum of Collaboration (MoC) with Koperasi Kakitangan PETRONAS Berhad (KOPETRO), to explore initiatives aimed at expanding access to fixed income investments and enhancing financial inclusion for KOPETRO members.
The MoC was signed by Datuk Muhamad Umar Swift, Chief Executive Officer of Bursa Malaysia and Chairman of BR Capital, and Encik Ahmad Shakir Ahmad Ubaidah, Chief Executive Officer of KOPETRO.
Under the terms of the MoC, BR Capital and KOPETRO will co-operate to expand access to fixed income instruments available on the BR Capital platform, such as credit-rated investment notes, to KOPETRO’s extensive member network. This will enable members to diversify their investment portfolios and expand income streams for long-term wealth creation, fostering greater participation in Malaysia’s growing fixed income space. Another focus of this collaboration is to raise investor awareness of new investment opportunities on the BR Capital platform. This will be achieved through educational initiatives and outreach programmes, to inform KOPETRO members on the benefits and potential of fixed income investments for wealth preservation and growth. In addition, both parties will explore further initiatives that align with their shared interests and long-term objectives.
Commenting on the collaboration, Encik Ahmad Shakir Ahmad Ubaidah, Chief Executive Officer of KOPETRO said, “This collaboration marks a significant step in expanding investment opportunities for 15,000 members of KOPETRO, providing them with access to BR Capital’s fundraising and investing platform. Through this partnership, members will have the opportunity to explore a wider range of investment instruments that can potentially generate sustainable returns while aligning with responsible financial principles. By leveraging BR Capital’s expertise and structured offerings, we aim to empower members with more diversified and strategic investment options, ultimately strengthening their financial resilience and long-term growth.”
Meanwhile, Datuk Muhamad Umar Swift said, “This MoC represents a significant step in BR Capital’s ambition to broaden the investor base within Malaysia’s capital market. Together with KOPETRO, we seek to empower KOPETRO members’ investing journey, providing them with opportunities to diversify their portfolios and create wealth through high-quality investment notes on our platform.”
“We are optimistic this collaboration will cultivate a dynamic investment environment that benefits issuers and investors, as well as the broader Malaysian economy,” added Datuk Muhamad Umar Swift.
