Ignored small-cap stocks set to see revival in fortune


KUALA LUMPUR- Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Abdul Wahid Omar launches 2015 Millenium Development Goals Report at Putra Hall, B1, Putrajaya International Convention Centre at 0900 (0100 GMT)

PETALING JAYA: Small-cap stocks that are often ignored by institutional funds are set to see a revival in fortune. Government-linked Investment Companies (GLICs) would set aside RM3bil to be invested in small and medium capitalised stocks over the next year or so.

According to the heads of several GLICs, the RM3bil is “fresh money” to be invested over time and separate from the existing investments.
