Development Investment Companies in Malaysia

Development investment companies (DICs) in Malaysia are investment holding companies that invest in and manage property development projects. These companies are typically established by property developers to raise funds for their projects.

DICs typically invest in property development projects that are in the early stages of development, such as land acquisition and pre-development costs. In return for their investment, DICs typically receive equity in the project and a share of the profits from the sale of the completed units.

DICs are regulated by the Securities Commission of Malaysia. To be listed on the Malaysian stock exchange, a DIC must have a minimum paid-up capital of RM50 million and must meet certain financial and corporate governance requirements.

DICs can be a good investment for those looking to get exposure to the Malaysian property market. They offer the potential for high returns, but they are also high risk. Before investing in a DIC, it is important to do your research and understand the risks involved.
