Kenanga Investment Bank's NagaWarrants Unlocks New Trading Frontiers with HSCEI and HSTECH Warrants
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 7 July 2025 – Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad ('' or ''), Malaysia's no. 1 issuer of structured warrants, proudly announces the launch of its first-ever Hang Seng China Enterprises Index ('') structured warrants – HSCEI-CAA and HSCEI-HBA – and Hang Seng TECH Index ('') structured warrants – HSTECH-C30 and HSTECH-H27 – under its flagship brand, NagaWarrants by Kenanga ('').
This launch marks a strategic expansion of the Group's East Asia footprint, following the successful introduction of Hang Seng Index ('HSI') structured warrants – HSI-CIW and HSI-HMO – in 2021. With HSCEI and HSTECH now listed on Bursa Malaysia, Malaysian investors will gain diversified access to two of Hong Kong's most influential indices, offering new opportunities to tap into China's financial and technology sectors.
The HSCEI tracks heavyweight mainland enterprises listed in Hong Kong, including financial and infrastructure giants such as ICBC, China Construction Bank, PetroChina, and Ping An Insurance. It serves as a key benchmark for tracking the performance of China's largest state-owned enterprises.

The HSTECH, on the other hand, captures the growth of China's leading tech innovators such as Tencent, Meituan, Xiaomi, and JD.com. With its focus on fast-evolving technology and innovation, HSTECH is ideal for traders with higher risk appetites looking for volatility and growth potential.
Kenanga Group's presence in the structured warrants market is underscored by its 64% market share in HSI warrants. In 2024, the structured warrants segment on Bursa Malaysia recorded a turnover of RM30.3 billion, contributing approximately 4% to the exchange's total market turnover of RM848.7 billion.
The launch of HSCEI and HSTECH structured warrants is expected to broaden market participation, diversify product offerings, and boost overall liquidity – particularly among retail traders already familiar with Hang Seng Index warrants.
'The launch of HSCEI and HSTECH structured warrants marks a pivotal step in our mission to democratise access to global markets. As Malaysia's leading issuer, Kenanga Group remains committed to driving innovation, expanding investor opportunities, and shaping the future of structured warrants. This initiative reflects our long-term vision to empower a new generation of traders while reinforcing our leadership in the region's capital markets,' said Datuk Chay Wai Leong, Group Managing Director of Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad.
'In 2024, NagaWarrants achieved a record-breaking market share of 52%, with a total turnover of RM15.7 billion. This milestone also marks our 300th Hang Seng-listed structured warrant on Bursa Malaysia – a testament to our relentless drive to innovate and serve the evolving needs of Malaysian traders,' added Datuk Lee Kok Khee, Executive Director, Head of Group Equity Business of Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad.

Beyond product innovation, NagaWarrants continues to empower investors through a blend of educational outreach and advanced analytics. In 2024, it hosted over 50 webinars and events, earning the SRP Asia Pacific Award for Best Educational Initiative in 2022, 2023 and 2025. At the same time, its adoption of machine learning models – which analyse interest rate movements, market trends, and regional dynamics to anticipate demand fluctuations – has enhanced precision in warrant issuance.
In recognition of its leadership and innovation, Kenanga Group has received several prestigious accolades, including:
Bursa Excellence Awards: Best Structured Warrants Issuer (2021 and 2024) (Equity and Index)
Best Structured Warrants Issuer (2021 and 2024) (Equity and Index) Global Banking & Finance Awards (UK): Best Warrants Issuer & Best Market Maker (2024 and 2025)

Oman unveils Advanced Air Mobility Sandbox
MUSCAT - Oman's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) recently unveiled its Sandbox AAM Oman 2025 Programme at the prestigious Paris-Le Bourget International Air and Space Show (SIAE), a key initiative that charts the Sultanate's ambitions to integrate Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) into its national transportation strategy. The initiative represents an important regulatory innovation led by the CAA to trial real-world AAM operations—including urban air mobility (UAM) such as air taxis, cargo drones, medical evacuation services, and surveillance missions—within live, controlled environments. Positioned as Oman's official testing ground for emerging air mobility technologies, the Sandbox AAM Oman 2025 Programme is designed to establish a comprehensive framework for safe operations, encompassing regulatory protocols, technical infrastructure, and ecosystem development. Helping facilitate Oman's participation at the Paris show was GUAMobility – Global Urban Air Mobility, a France-based consulting firm that specializes in future-ready transportation solutions. 'As coordinator of this initiative, GUAMobility is proud to support the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology (MTCIT) and the CAA in this visionary approach, positioning the Sultanate of Oman as a key player in future air mobility,' the consultancy stated in a post. According to officials, the Sandbox Programme will serve multiple strategic objectives. It will enable the testing of AAM technologies under real-world conditions in a secure, designated Geozone. It will also support the development of an innovative and adaptive regulatory framework for advanced aerial operations. In parallel, the initiative seeks to open market access for industry players and startups to trial and deploy AAM solutions in Oman and the wider region. A core component of the programme is the creation of a national Geozone—an experimental airspace where startups, research institutes, and private-sector operators can conduct trials under CAA oversight. These trials may include drone deliveries, air ambulance services, inter-city passenger transport, and surveillance missions. To support the large-scale deployment of AAM, the initiative also aims to advance the legal, technical, and infrastructural groundwork necessary for full integration. This includes the development of vertiports, airspace coordination systems, traffic management protocols, and robust cybersecurity measures. Several pilot projects are already envisioned as part of the Sandbox Programme. These cover areas such as urban and inter-city air transport, aerial logistics and cargo, medical emergency response, security and surveillance operations, and the establishment of innovation incubators dedicated to AAM research and development. The programme also fosters collaboration among key stakeholders, including government entities, global aerospace leaders like Boeing and Phoenix Space, consulting partners such as GUAMobility, academic institutions, and technology startups. The CAA, working closely with the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology (MTCIT), housing authorities, and urban planners, is currently drafting regulatory and operational guidelines to govern the safe rollout of AAM technologies. A key long-term ambition of the initiative is to position Oman as the host of the ICAO AAM World Forum in 2026, reinforcing the Sultanate of Oman's emerging leadership in regional and global air mobility innovation.
