KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian capital market has built trust and confidence as seen from the scale of fund mobilisation in businesses and savings by investors, said Securities Commission executive chairman Tan Sri Ranjit Ajit Singh.

He said the opportunity for investors to realise returns in the capital market remained the key elements in market performance. “Investors, who perceived themselves to be disadvantaged, will reduce exposure, whereby reduced investor participation in the market will affect and lead to lower credibility, therefore, cause higher cost of raising capital,” he said during the MIA final 50th commemorative lecture series. — Bernama
