Monday, 9 January 2023 - AmInvestment Bank Berhad, one of the top investment banks in Malaysia, and EquitiesTracker International Sdn Bhd, a 45-year-old financial data provider that covers stock markets in Malaysia, Singapore and Australia, today announced the joint launch of the Singapore Stock Market Educational Campaign as a value-added service for clients of its Foreign Investing Services.

The Singapore Stock Market Educational Campaign consists of an in-depth Stock Education and Singapore Market Outlook for the stakeholders, namely the clients and the salesforce. Throughout the sharing session, the stakeholders will be introduced to the latest EquitiesTracker Singapore (ETSG) Tool with AmInvestment Bank being the first broker in Malaysia to subscribe to this tool for the benefit of its stakeholders.

EQUITIESTRACKER SINGAPORE (ETSG) TOOL

Powered by complex algorithms, the Singapore Stock Selector Tool is the fundamental gateway to and provides full coverage of information on all Singapore stocks such as price data, screeners, and analytics, including comprehensive REIT analytics and comparison tools. The Singapore Stock Selector Tool aims to create a level playing field between retail investors and institutions by providing retail investors (at no cost to them) with access to extensive information and analytics that institutions use to make investment decisions.

“AmInvestment Bank Berhad offers a wide range of investment products and services, such as conventional and Shariah-compliant trading, share margin financing and e-trading to our clients. As of November 2022, AmInvestment Bank generated a total traded value of RM51 billion, and Foreign Investing Services (“FIS”) is also one of the popular products among our clients. Through FIS, our clients are able to trade in more than 12 foreign markets worldwide, such as markets in the United States, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, Indonesia, United Kingdom, Thailand, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Philippines, and Canada,” said Tracy Chen Wee Keng, Chief Executive Officer, AmInvestment Bank Berhad.

“Our record in November 2022 shows that out of the total traded value of RM171 million attributed to the Foreign Investing Services, trades on Singapore Stock Market ranked fourth with a total traded value of RM25.7 million, or 15% of Foreign Investing Services trades. According to our Equity Research team, over the past 6 months, investors have started to invest overseas as a hedge against the depreciating MYR. We believe that the stability of the Singapore Dollar is a strong justification for investors to consider investing in the Singapore Stock Market. By launching the Singapore Stock Market Educational Campaign, we are convinced we will see at least a 15% growth in trade value for the Foreign Investing Services in the next 3 financial years,” she added.

As part of the initiative, AmInvestment Bank Berhad has also rolled out a series of campaigns to reward our customers and promote higher trading volumes. These campaigns include:
