KUALA LUMPUR, CGS International Securities Pte Ltd, via its subsidiary CGS International Securities Malaysia Sdn Bhd, has introduced two new Islamic structured investment products: the Islamic Equity Linked Investment Notes (ELIN-i) and the Islamic Autocallable Equity Structured Investment Notes (AESIN-i).
According to Rushdan Nadzir, Group Head of Syariah Services, the launch marks a significant milestone as these are the first Shariah-compliant equity-linked structured investment products in Malaysia, specifically designed for affluent and institutional investors.
“These offerings underscore our dedication to financial innovation while aligning with our shared mission to position Malaysia as a global hub for Islamic finance,” Rushdan said during the product launch.
He added that the products support the vision outlined in Bank Negara Malaysia’s Financial Sector Blueprint 2022–2026, which seeks to solidify Malaysia’s status as a leading financial centre in ASEAN.
Rushdan noted that Malaysia’s Islamic capital market, valued at over RM2.6 trillion and representing 63% of the nation’s total capital market, provides a robust foundation for these new offerings. ELIN-i and AESIN-i are designed to provide structured exposure for sophisticated investors seeking opportunities in Shariah-compliant equity investments.
“These products tap into Malaysia’s strong legacy in Islamic finance and CGS’s investment expertise to deliver structured alternatives for high net-worth individuals and entities,” he said.
