For over three decades, Kenanga Investors Berhad (KIB) has carved a distinct path in Malaysia’s financial landscape. More than a fund manager, KIB is a catalyst for financial empowerment, proving that investment expertise, innovation, and social commitment can co-exist to elevate communities and individuals alike.

Knowledge-Driven Advisory with a Human Touch

With over 150 CFP professionals, KIB’s pursuit of knowledge goes beyond technical mastery. KIB equips its experts with digital tools and platforms that ensure advice is precise and client-focused. Digital tools like Goals Mapper help clients visualise how decisions shape long-term outcomes, while WRAP services let Licensed Financial Planners design diversified portfolios, strengthen client retention, and earn sustainable, performance-linked recurring income that steadily increases in line with portfolio growth.

Innovation for Everyday Investors

KIB’s commitment to inclusion is evident in how it deploys technology. Its AI-powered robo-advisory platform, Kenanga Digital Investing, brings professional investment strategies within reach of the everyday Malaysian. Meanwhile, Kenanga Money, a digital wallet integrated with trading accounts, allows users to manage transactions, make payments, and send global remittances seamlessly. These innovations make financial participation easier and smarter, reinforcing the firm’s goal of helping Malaysians take control of their financial futures.

Financial Literacy in Motion

KIB’s influence is shared across a range of public channels. Articles in The Edge, StarBiz, and Newswav help break down complex topics like diversification and ESG investing into practical, accessible insights for everyday readers. But the learning doesn’t stop there. Events such as Retirement Reimagined, ESG Evolve, and InvestSmart Fest offer immersive spaces for people of all ages to explore key financial issues, including understanding fintech and preparing for major life transitions. These gatherings are more than just events. They are shared experiences that spark conversation, learning, and meaningful change.

Finance with a Social Conscience

The firm’s commitment is equally visible in its social outreach. Through its Qurban Perdana initiatives, KIB has distributed thousands of food packs to orphanages and charitable homes, tying cultural traditions to tangible acts of care. Empathy workshops with Dialogue Includes All Academy placed employees in immersive sessions led by visually impaired trainers, fostering inclusivity and understanding within the organisation.

Perhaps most groundbreaking was the introduction of Malaysia’s first Waqf-featured exchange-traded fund, the Eq8 FTSE Malaysia Enhanced Dividend Waqf ETF. This pioneering model allows investors to direct part of their returns to causes such as education, healthcare, and climate resilience. By blending Islamic social finance with modern investment products, KIB created a sustainable cycle where wealth creation uplifts society. It was a bold step that positioned KIB as an innovator in Malaysia and on the global stage alike.

Lifelong Learning and Industry Building

Since 2018, KIB has partnered with the Malaysian Financial Planning Council to deliver both conventional and shariah-compliant certifications to over 220 participants. As a charter member of FPAM, it has championed the training of more than 150 CFP professionals and IFP certificants. This dedication to education reflects a belief that the industry thrives when knowledge is shared and professionalism elevated.

A Culture of Service and Sustainability

Volunteerism runs deep in KIB’s identity. Employees and advisers regularly contribute to university talks, youth-focused financial forums, and competitions such as the Financial Industry Profession Challenge at the University of Malaya. The firm has also shown its commitment to sustainability through programmes like Dive Against Debris, mobilising volunteers to protect Malaysia’s marine ecosystems through underwater clean-ups and beach restoration. These acts of service demonstrate that a financial institution can be both a steward of wealth and a guardian of community wellbeing.

Caring for Its Own

KIB’s internal culture reinforces the same empathy and empowerment it offers externally. Staff receive access to subsidised will-writing and wasiat services, along with discounts on insurance plans. These benefits reflect a holistic approach to employee wellbeing, reinforcing loyalty and purpose in the workplace.

A Future Anchored in Purpose

With innovations in robo-advisory, the combination of Financial Planning with digital tools like Goals Mapper create a robust ecosystem that benefits all stakeholders. Kenanga Investors Berhad is redefining what it means to be a financial institution. Every initiative is a thread in a broader story where knowledge meets compassion, and finance becomes a tool for empowerment.
