Established in 1993, the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) is a self-funding statutory body set up by the Ministry of Finance with a dual mandate to facilitate the orderly development of the capital market, as well as to regulate to uphold investor protection and maintain the integrity of the market. The SC is the main regulator for the securities and derivatives markets in Malaysia.The organisation supervises market operators, market intermediaries and all matters relating to securities, derivatives contracts and unit trust schemes. The SC also registers prospectuses of corporations and funds, approve corporate bond issues and regulate corporate mergers and acquisitions. Underpinning all these functions is the SC’s ultimate responsibility of protecting investors. The SC is also entrusted with a broad range of investigative and enforcement powers from the Securities Commission Act 1993, the Capital Markets and Services Act 2007 and the Securities Industry (Central Depositories) Act 1991.The SC has been tasked to develop an innovative, competitive and vibrant capital market. Since the SC’s establishment two decades ago, Malaysia now has a capital market size of RM2.88 trillion, the world’s largest sukuk market (with 69% of the world’s sukuk being issued in Malaysia), 3rd largest bond market in Asia relative to the size of the economy, fastest growing equity market and largest unit trust industry in ASEAN with widespread levels of participation from confident and informed investors.There is a significant growth prospect for the Malaysian capital market driven by the nation’s economic progress as Malaysia heads towards achieving the status of a high-income and fully developed nation by 2020.These are exciting times to be in the SC; hence we are inviting ambitious and driven individuals to join the SC to develop and become world-class capital market regulators.
