BURSA MALAYSIA HONOURS TOP PERFORMING BROKERS AND MARKET INTERMEDIARIES AT THE BURSA EXCELLENCE AWARDS 2019 CEREMONY
Kuala Lumpur, 30 July 2020 – Bursa Malaysia Berhad (“Bursa Malaysia” or “the Exchange”) today hosted the 7th edition of the Bursa Excellence Awards 2019, to honour the top-performing brokers and market intermediaries.
Themed “Rising to the Challenge”, the awards ceremony recognised top-performing brokers and market intermediaries whose outstanding efforts had contributed to the growth across the securities, derivatives and Islamic markets in 2019. A total of 47 awards in 21 categories were handed out during the ceremony. This year, two new award categories were added:
i. Best High Touch Foreign Institutional Participating Organisation: Recognising a foreign broker’s active efforts to profile and promote Malaysia and Malaysian public listed companies to international and local buy-side investment professionals; and
ii. Best Bursa MidS Research House: Recognising the research house that has substantially contributed towards the success of the Bursa MidS Research Scheme in catalysing participation of investors in the high growth mid and small-cap segments.
In his welcoming address, Tan Sri Abdul Wahid Omar, Chairman of Bursa Malaysia said, “These awards celebrate the outstanding achievements of organisations and individuals who play a crucial role in encouraging the vibrancy and dynamism that is essential in our marketplace.”
“Considering the challenging period in 2019, our equity market remained on a positive track, driven by our combined efforts of encouraging more vibrancy and liquidity. Retail Invest Year 2019 was a resounding success with the growth in retail participation, reaching a record high not seen since 2010. The ETF market in Malaysia also saw a huge growth in trading activities following the issuance of 10 new ETFs last year, doubling the number of listed ETFs on the Exchange to 19.”
