Investment And Holdings Companies in Malaysia

An investment holding company is a company that holds shares of other companies for the purpose of investment. The shares are held for the long-term and are not traded on the stock market. The company may also provide loans to the companies in which it holds shares.

The investment holding company is a popular structure for family businesses in Malaysia. This is because it allows the family to control the companies in which they have invested, without having to be actively involved in the day-to-day operations. It also allows the family to spread the risk of their investment across a number of different companies.

The investment holding company is a separate legal entity from the companies in which it holds shares. This means that the liability of the shareholders is limited to the amount of their investment.

The investment holding company is subject to taxation on its profits. However, the tax rate is lower than the rate for individual shareholders.

The investment holding company is regulated by the Companies Commission of Malaysia.
