Nomura Asset Management Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. (“NAMM”) (Company No.: 748695-A) started operations in December 2006 as part of our continued commitment to our Malaysian clients whom we have been servicing since 1994 from outside of Malaysia. With the opening of the Malaysian office, we brought with us our Japanese heritage’s attention to quality for our institutional clients’ investment needs. We have a robust investment process that has seen us perform through periods of booms and bust. At present, we count Government Linked Institutions and Insurance Companies amongst our clientele.

We are proud that our homegrown team has bloomed from 3 to a combined staff strenght of 38 (includiing Nomura Islamic Asset Management) as of 31 December 2020, with many of us growing with the company since Day 1 in 2006. Starting with Malaysian equities, we now offer Global equities in addition to Malaysian fixed income from our Investment teams based here in Kuala Lumpur. We plan to continue to add in more resources in the very near future in line with our business plans. NAMM’s total assets under management stood at over MYR 18.7 billion as at the end of December 2020.   

Our value proposition:

• Locally based, locally sourced talent with Global backing
• Unique Asian perspective from our Japanese Roots
• Stable and experienced Investment Personnel
• Team and process driven approach to Investing
• Culture of Compliance
