PETALING JAYA: Bursa Malaysia will enhance its investor segment classification to provide greater granularity on trading participation data across the market.
In a statement, the stock exchange operator said the changes will take effect from April 6, 2026.
“The enhancements will involve distinguishing nominee accounts held by institutional and retail investors, thereby providing a clearer representation of each investor segment’s trading participation,” it said.
In addition, investment flows of foreign-owned firms incorporated in Malaysia will be reclassified based on the source of investment funds rather than ownership structure.
This is to better reflect domestic investment activity.
Bursa Malaysia said the updated investor categories will be reflected in its data packages from April 6 and have been communicated to data subscribers in line with its usual practice.
