PUTRAJAYA: CACEIS, a global asset servicing provider and subsidiary of Crédit Agricole S.A. and Santander, has reaffirmed its long-term commitment to Asia-Pacific with the official launch of its new Malaysian office.
Since relocating its Asian operations to Malaysia, the company has positioned itself as a key player supporting institutional investors across all asset classes. The move underscores Malaysia’s growing role as a strategic financial hub in the region.
CACEIS Malaysia was established on 3 July 2023, following the group’s acquisition of RBC Investor Services’ European asset servicing activities. The Malaysian branch now supports the group’s European entities and plans to further expand across the APAC region.
Speaking at the launch, Wilson Sunny, Chief Executive Officer of CACEIS Malaysia, highlighted the company’s focus on innovation, sustainability, and talent development. “This GBI-certified office, which supports 1,200 employees with capacity for further growth, reflects our commitment to sustainable operations,” he said.
The company has already invested RM1.2 million in training programmes, including leadership development and international training across Europe and Asia.
“Our strategic expansion includes growing our digital and technology footprint in Malaysia to better serve our APAC clients,” added Sunny. “Our people remain our greatest asset, and we are investing to ensure they are prepared for the industry’s evolving needs.”
YB Senator Tengku Datuk Seri Utama Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz, Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry, lauded the expansion in a recorded message. “This new office signifies our shared ambition to build a dynamic, future-ready economy that creates high-value opportunities for Malaysians. It also reflects Malaysia’s increasing significance as a financial services hub,” he said.
French Ambassador to Malaysia, His Excellency Axel Cruau, expressed his support at the event, saying, “CACEIS’s growth in Malaysia is a testament to the strength of the local investment climate and the strategic appeal of Malaysia’s financial ecosystem.”
CACEIS aims to become Europe’s leading asset servicing provider by 2030 and is positioning its Malaysian office as a regional centre of excellence to help achieve that ambition.
