Property And Other Assets Investment Companies in Malaysia

Property and other assets investment companies in Malaysia are required to be registered with the Securities Commission Malaysia. These companies are also known as real estate investment trusts (REITs).

REITs are companies that invest in real estate and other assets. They are similar to mutual funds in that they allow investors to pool their money and invest in a diversified portfolio of properties.

REITs are required to distribute at least 90% of their taxable income to shareholders in the form of dividends. This makes them an attractive investment for income-seeking investors.

REITs are also subject to certain regulations that aim to protect investors. For example, REITs are not allowed to borrow more than 49% of their total asset value. This is to ensure that they have enough cash on hand to pay dividends and meet other financial obligations.

The Securities Commission Malaysia has a dedicated REITs Unit that monitors the activities of these companies. Investors can find information about REITs on the Commission's website.
