KUALA LUMPUR: Kenanga Investment Bank Bhd
on Thursday celebrated its landmark 50th anniversary marking a significant milestone in its history.
“As we celebrate 50 years of Kenanga, I am filled with immense pride and gratitude. This milestone is a testament to the dedication, hard work and the unwavering support of our incredible clients, partners, employees and stakeholders. I am proud of our accomplishments, and I have great confidence in the organisation’s continued growth and success in the years ahead.
“In recognition of this momentous achievement, my heartfelt appreciation goes out to our clients, business partners, shareholders, employees and community of stakeholders who have been with us throughout this remarkable journey,” founder emeritus and adviser Tan Sri Tengku Noor Zakiah Tengku Ismail said in a statement.
In its 50-years journey, Kenanga has undergone remarkable growth and transformation since its humble beginnings as a modest stockbroking firm in 1973.
Today, it stands tall as a leading and award-winning independent investment bank in Malaysia, offering innovative and comprehensive financial services across the country.
Kenanga has achieved notable milestones over the years, including the launch of Rakuten Trade, Malaysia’s first digital equity broker, in partnership with Rakuten Securities, Inc.
It also became the first organisation to be recognised as “Most Innovative Participating Organisation” by Bursa Malaysia for bringing transformative ideas to the marketplace.
In 2021, Kenanga demonstrated its commitment to responsible business practices by becoming the first Malaysian investment bank to join the United Nations Global Compact, the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative.
To mark this milestone, Kenanga held a celebration at its Kuala Lumpur headquarters, which included a series of events and activities for its employees.
Kenanga is also preparing to enhance its existing offerings to provide even greater value and convenience to its clients.
“Clients can look forward to the launch of the group’s Wealth SuperApp, geared to revolutionise how Malaysians approach wealth generation and management,” it said.
