PETALING JAYA: Bursa Malaysia RAM Capital Sdn Bhd (BR Capital) has signed a memorandum of collaboration (MoC) with Koperasi Kakitangan PETRONAS Bhd (Kopetro) to explore initiatives aimed at expanding access to fixed income investments and enhancing financial inclusion for Kopetro members.
Under the MoC, BR Capital and Kopetro will cooperate to expand access to fixed income instruments available on the BR Capital platform, such as credit-rated investment notes, to the latter’s extensive member network.
This will enable members to diversify their investment portfolios and expand income streams for long-term wealth creation.
This in turn will foster greater participation in Malaysia’s growing fixed income space.
The collaboration also intends 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,” said BR Capital and Kopetro in a joint statement yesterday.
BR Capital is a joint venture between Bursa Malaysia Bhd
and RAM Holdings Bhd.
Kopetro chief executive officer Ahmad Shakir Ahmad Ubaidah said the collaboration marks a significant step in expanding investment opportunities for 15,000 members of Kopetro.
This will provide 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.”
Meanwhile, Bursa Malaysia chief executive officer Datuk Muhamad Umar Swift stated that the MoC represents a significant step in BR Capital’s ambition to broaden the investor base within the country’s capital market.
“Together with Kopetro, we seek to empower members’ investing journey, providing them with opportunities to diversify their portfolios and create wealth through high-quality investment notes on our platform,” he said.
