Moomoo Malaysia launches campaign to drive retail investor growth and capability
MOOMOO MALAYSIA has launched a strategic investor development campaign supported by Bursa Malaysia in conjunction with Bursa Malaysia's Shares2U programme, aimed at equipping Malaysian retail investors with the tools, incentives, and market structure needed to engage capital markets with greater confidence and competence. Running from June 6 to July 7, the co-branded campaign blends incentive-led onboarding with performance-based learning. New and experienced investors alike can access a streamlined, technology-driven trading experience via the Moomoo Malaysia platform, which offers tools, insights, and live data to support smarter investment decisions. The campaign introduces a two-pronged opportunity for Malaysians to build investing confidence through: > Rewards worth up to RM 2,200 for new Moomoo users, including RM400 worth of Bursa-listed stocks > A national Malaysia stock trading challenge that is open to all users, with a total prize pool of up to RM14,000, designed to sharpen real-market trading skills. Central to the campaign is Moomoo's emphasis on capability-building. The platform delivers real-time market data, advanced screeners, and analytics tools typically used by professional investors tailored for Malaysian users. By aligning incentives with trading education and decision-making, the campaign supports more informed, self-directed participation in Malaysia's capital markets. Moomoo Malaysia chief executive officer Ivan Mok said 'The long-term health of Malaysia's capital markets will be shaped not by short-term retail surges, but by sustained, self-directed investor capability. 'This campaign supports that trajectory — not just through access to market, but through informed engagement with the market. 'In partnership with Bursa Malaysia, we're combining institutional trust with our professional-grade, real-time trading tools to help Malaysians become active, smart and informed participants in the stock market.' Elevating investor literacy Unlike traditional campaigns focused solely on incentives, this initiative emphasises market experience and financial literacy. The Moomoo platform provides Malaysian users with institutional-grade tools — including real-time data feeds, advanced screeners, and analytics — in a retail-accessible environment. This technology-first approach is intended to strengthen trading discipline and investor readiness across market cycles. 'With markets entering a more uncertain phase — from renewed trade tensions to sector-level volatility — the gap between simply participating and investing with discipline is becoming more obvious,' Mok observed. 'In this environment, investors need more than access. They need the tools and experience to think strategically, manage risk, and stay engaged. 'That's the focus of this campaign — to help investors build capability in real time, with the tools and experience to think strategically, manage risk, and stay engaged in the market,' he added. The trading challenge is open to all users, while additional rewards are available exclusively to new users who meet the qualifying deposit criteria. For more information, click here .

Malaysia's retail investors to get shares as rewards in bid to boost interest in its stock exchange
A new securities transfer scheme allows brokerage firms to reward retail investors with shares of companies listed on Bursa Malaysia through marketing campaigns. PHOTO: BT FILE Malaysia's retail investors to get shares as rewards in bid to boost interest in its stock exchange SINGAPORE – Malaysia is taking steps to broaden its retail investor market with a new scheme that rewards shareholders with eligible shares of the country's listed firms . Launched on May 22, Shares2U is a securities transfer scheme that allows brokerage firms to reward retail investors with shares of companies listed on Bursa Malaysia through marketing campaigns. These shares can be awarded when investors perform specific actions, such as opening a Central Depository System (CDS) account, depositing funds or executing trades. The CDS functions like Singapore's Central Depository accounts. Any securities that an investor buys or sells will be credited to or debited from his CDS account. Most shares listed on the bourse can be awarded to investors, except those from companies classified under PN17 or GN3 – categories for financially distressed firms at risk of delisting. PN17 applies to firms on Bursa's main market , while GN3 covers those on the Ace Market. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) can also be awarded, except for leveraged ETFs, inverse ETFs and non-ringgit-denominated ETFs. Seven firms – AmInvestment Bank, CGS International Securities Malaysia, Hong Leong Investment Bank, Kenanga Investment Bank, Malacca Securities, Maybank Investment Bank and Moomoo Securities Malaysia – will roll out the Shares2U scheme in their upcoming marketing campaigns. Bursa Malaysia chief executive Fad'l Mohamed said Shares2U is an example of how Malaysia's capital market is responding to evolving investor behaviours and preferences. 'Today's investors, particularly younger, digitally native generations, expect more than just access – they want value, personalisation and engaging experiences,' he said. 'Shares2U empowers participating organisations to meet these expectations while fostering broader retail participation.' The rollout comes on the back of a strong year for the Malaysian bourse. A Deloitte report published in February showed that Malaysia saw 55 initial public offerings in 2024, which raised US$1.7 billion (S$2.19 billion). This represented a 100 per cent increase from 2023. Bursa Malaysia also had South-east Asia's top listing in 2024 – consumer company 99 Speed Mart Retail Holdings. Its IPO raised US$574 million.

Shares2U aims to boost retail investor participation
Representatives from Moomoo Securities Sdn Bhd ; Hong Leong Investment Bank Bhd; Maybank Investment Bank Bhd; Dato' Fad'l Mohamed; Malacca Securities Sdn Bhd; Kenanga Investment Bank Bhd; CGS International Securities Malaysia KUALA LUMPUR: With the intent of strengthening participation in the retail segment of Malaysia's capital market, Bursa Malaysia has launched an initiative called Shares2U. A securities transfer scheme, Shares2U will enable participating organisations to reward retail investors with eligible Bursa Malaysia listed shares as part of marketing campaigns. Bursa Malaysia chief executive officer Datuk Fad'l Mohamed said because retail investors were integral to the vibrancy and resilience of Malaysia's capital market, the stock exchange wanted to support them by offering accessible investment avenues and delivering comprehensive educational resources. The initiative was developed in response to the ever-evolving landscape of capital markets due to technological innovation and the shifts that it brought about. He said today's investors are younger and from digitally-native generations, thus they need more than just access, but rather value, personalisation and engaging experiences. According to Fad'l, the premise of Shares2U was designed to be simple. The seven participating organisation's currently are AmInvestment Bank Bhd, CGS International Securities Malaysia, Hong Leong Investment Bank Bhd, Kenanga Investment Bank Bhd , Malacca Securities Sdn Bhd, Maybank Investment Bank Bhd and Moomoo Securities Malaysia Sdn Bhd. These organisation's will leverage Shares2U in their upcoming marketing campaigns. 'The organisations can offer eligible Bursa Malaysia-listed securities as a form of reward for investor actions, for instance when they open a central depository system account, deposit funds or execute a trade,' he said during the initiative's launch yesterday. He added the impact would be broad for new, inactive or active investors, for the participating organisation's and the capital market as a whole. 'For new investors, Shares2U offers behavioural incentives to take their first step into investing, while for inactive users, this is a timely prompt to re-engage with the market. Then for the active users, Shares2U enables participating organisations to recognise their commitment and loyalty, ensuring that their investing experience is more rewarding and fulfilling,' he said. At the launch, Malacca Securities Sdn Bhd chief operating officer Dennis Jee Chin Che said that it was important to promote the local market while teaching financial literacy. Jee commended Bursa Malaysia for taking the initiative because it not only gives brokers the opportunities to collaborate, but also to encourage new investors to enter the market while teaching them on how to trade stocks. 'Even with all the uncertainty in the global markets due to the US-China trade tensions, and the situation in the United States, the local market is still vibrant. We're still tracking closely with what's happening globally,' he noted. From a broker's perspective, Jee said promoting education was equally important because of the changing landscape. 'If you look at our campaigns, one task that investors are required to complete is a course where basics are taught to newcomers. When done, we give them three stocks to trade, and using their knowledge and training, they can choose which stock has the best quality to invest in,' he explained. Jee said Malacca Securities would be launching its Shares2U activities in June, and he expects good feedback. 'We are hopeful that this initiative will help Bursa Malaysia to promote the local market and we hope to get the market excited again.'
