Maybank

Kuala Lumpur, 24 September 2014 – Maybank Investment Bank has been named the Best Broker in Malaysia for 2014 by three industry leading publications; Alpha Southeast Asia, Finance Asia and the Asian Banker. To celebrate its success, Maybank Investment Bank has launched its biggest and boldest promotional campaign to-date, to thank its clients as well as to reward new clients when they start trading stocks or futures with Maybank Investment Bank.

Maybank Investment Bank’s CEO John Chong said, “Winning three of the most prestigious Best Broker awards in the industry is no easy feat. It is a recognition of the success we have achieved in building up our Equities business over the past three years to become ASEAN’s leading brokerage franchise. We want to thank our clients for their continuous support and for helping us become the Best Broker in Malaysia.”

The campaign, which runs from 5 September to 31 December 2014, consists of a Grand Prize Draw, a Zero Brokerage Fee promotion and a weekly Guess the Index contest. The Grand Prize Draw will see a client drive off in a Porsche Boxster valued at RM550,000. It is also giving away an all-expenses paid trip to London worth up to RM100,000 and an IWC watch worth up to RM50,000.

To encourage online trading, Maybank Investment Bank is offering a welcome gift to all new clients, comprising Zero Brokerage for all trades in the first month, and Zero Brokerage for seven trades in the subsequent months until 31 December 2014.

The Guess the Index contest is open to the public; the correct or the closest guess for the weekly closing of the Kuala Lumpur Composite Index will win a RM1000 EzyInvest voucher. Full details of the promotions are available at www.maybankib-yellow.com.
