KUALA LUMPUR, July 4 — AmInvest has won its fifth consecutive award as ‘Malaysia’s Best Investment Management Company’ at the World Finance Investment Management Awards 2016 (Awards) based in United Kingdom. This impressive winning streak makes it the only investment management company in the history of the Awards to have achieved this.

 Winners were chosen through a two-tiered exercise: firstly, a voting system and then judged by a panel of industry experts. Performance, service, leadership, consistency, targets and objectives on both the equities and fixed income fronts were among the judging criteria taken into account and in all these aspects, AmInvest stood out and was acknowledged for its achievements.

returns. We have multidisciplinary teams across different specialisations that bring the best practices of funds management to our business,” said Datin Maznah Mahbob, Chief Executive Officer of AmInvest.

Since 2010, the growth of AmInvest’s total assets under management (AUM) has been on an upward trend with an average growth of 8 per cent annually. Its Shariah-compliant business itself has registered exponential average growth of 19 per cent over the same period.
