The Management Company

2008 marks HwangDBS Investment Management (HwangDBS IM) seventh year milestone. In the short span of time, we have grown our assets under management (AUM) by more than 350 times, from a mere RM20 million in 2001 to over RM7 billion as at 30th June 2008.

In tandem with the financial growth, we have also established ourselves as a strong and reliable name in Malaysia. In five years we have progressively expanded our capabilities to manage both corporate and retail funds. Currently in our stable are a total of 31 unit trust funds, five (5) of which have been recognised by global rating agencies and international publications for their consistently outstanding performance.

The dynamics of our vibrant financial industry are indeed challenging but with the added staff strength, talent and the support of our parent, Hwang-DBS (Malaysia) Berhad and our Singapore asset management partner, DBS Asset Management Limited (DBSAM), we are indeed well positioned to meet changing needs of marketplace and diverse client base of differing risk appetites.

As we step into the fourth quarter of 2008, HwangDBS IM is certainly looking forward to the opportunities ahead. As one of Malaysia’s leading Unit Trust and Asset Management companies, we strongly believe in consistency and in putting our efforts to exceed our customers’ expectations as we aim to be the partner of choice in managing your investment needs.
