Investment Holding And Companies in Malaysia

An investment holding company is a company that holds shares of other companies as investments. The shares are held for capital appreciation or to receive income from dividends. The company may also have other assets such as real estate or cash.

An investment holding company is not involved in the day-to-day operations of the companies it invests in. It is a holding company in the true sense of the word. The investment holding company structure is often used by families to hold their wealth in a diversified portfolio of companies.

The advantages of an investment holding company include asset protection, estate planning, and tax efficiency. The disadvantages include the need for professional management and the potential for conflict of interest.

There are many investment holding companies in Malaysia. Some of the largest and most well-known are Khazanah Nasional, Genting Group, and Sime Darby.
