KUALA LUMPUR: Specialist capital markets group Affin Hwang Capital is projecting a robust outlook for its businesses now that it has completed its post-merger house cleaning. The group has three principal business areas — investment banking (including treasury and markets), securities (including research) and asset management. It has been a huge jump and we foresee that this is a segment where we can grow. Malaysia will remain as Affin Hwang Capital’s key market, but this does not mean the group will not ride on existing regional free-trade agreements. Affin Hwang Capital also has some 11 per cent market share of Bursa Malaysia’s trading volume, a jump from three per cent before the merger.
