Overview:
Bursa Malaysia Bhd (Bursa Malaysia)
Bursa Malaysia Bhd (formerly known as the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange, KLSE) was formed on December 27, 1976 in conjunction with the Securities Industry Act, 1973. At that time the KLSE was a company limited by guarantee without share capital and incorporated under the Companies Act, 1965.
With the demutualization of the KLSE on January 5, 2004, KLSE became a public company limited by shares. Effectively, the KLSE has vested and transferred its stock exchange business to its wholly-owned subsidiary Bursa Malaysia Securities Bhd (Bursa Securities), while the demutualized KLSE has been approved as an exchange holding company known as Bursa Malaysia Bhd (Bursa Malaysia).
Bursa Malaysia Securities Bhd (Bursa Securities)
Bursa Malaysia Securities Bhd (Bursa Securities), a subsidiary of Bursa Malaysia Bhd (Bursa Malaysia), facilitates trading in securities of companies listed on the bourse. It is also responsible for market surveillance and enforcement of trading rules and listing requirements.
Securities dealing is carried out by stockbroking companies (SBCs), which are referred to as member companies of the Bursa Securities. The terms ‘member company’ and ‘SBCs’ are interchangeable.
Bursa Securities has three boards, the Main Board, Second Board and Malaysian Exchange of Securities Dealing and Automated Quotation Bhd (MESDAQ). A public company that has its shares listed on the Main and Second Board must comply with the listing requirements of Bursa Securities while the MESDAQ counters must comply with the listing requirements of MESDAQ.
LFX (Labuan International Financial Exchange)
The LFX was launched on November 23, 2000. Wholly owned by Bursa Malaysia, the LFX is a virtual global exchange that provides listing and trading facilities for a wide range of financial and non-financial products, including mutual funds, bonds, derivatives and insurance-linked products. Said to be the first of its kind in Asia, LFX is expected to boost Labuan’s position as an international offshore financial centre.
LFX is limited by shares and its’ authorized and paid up capital stands at USD5 million and USD100, 000 respectively. It is governed by the Offshore Companies Act 1990 and Labuan Offshore Securities Industry Act 1998. It is a self-regulated organization that will operate, manage, monitor and supervise its own market participants by way of its licenses, rules and regulations.
LFX promotes extensive use of multimedia and Internet facilities. Trading of LFX securities do not attract any capital gains tax, contract note duties and exit levies.
Trading on LFX is carried out via LFX’s Electronic Bulletin Board. All financial instruments available for trading are posted on the board and trading agents, who are the only people who can deal on the exchange, post their indication of interest to buy or sell on the board. Any interested trading agents will conduct their own negotiations. The trade will only be considered complete when the report of the trade by both buyer and seller is received by LFX.
Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Bhd (Bursa Derivatives)
Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Bhd (Bursa Derivatives), formerly known as MDEX, was formed when the Commodity and Monetary Exchange and Kuala Lumpur Options and Financial Futures Exchange (KLOFFE) merged. It was launched on June 11, 2001. Bursa Derivatives is a futures and options exchange.
With effect from November 20, 2006, Bursa Malaysia migrated its derivatives products onto its new common trading system, Bursa Trade. The new system caters for faster processing and execution of more orders. It also enhances capabilities for the exchange to improve market liquidity and velocity as well as increase trading efficiency and quality of market surveillance.
Trading System
Trading on Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (Bursa Securities) (previously known as Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange) is executed through stockbroking companies (SBCs). The automated trading system of the Bursa Securities comprise two major computer systems which are as follows:
* The SCORE (System on Computerised Order Routing and Execution) which is the central computer engine responsible for the matching of all trades
* The WinSCORE system (broker front end trading system) which is responsible for credit control management, order and trade routing as well as confirmation
All SBC’s are equipped with the WinSCORE system. The WinSCORE terminals are linked with the SCORE system to enable dealers to key in orders themselves and not through a central buyer. This allows a more timely execution of clients’ orders and a reduction of risk exposure for the dealers and the broking firms.
A subsidiary company of the Exchange, Bursa Malaysia Securities Clearing Sdn Bhd (Bursa Clearing ‘S’), (previously Securities Clearing Automated Network Services Sdn Bhd, SCANS), effects the clearing and settlement of all business done through SCORE. This provides for efficiency in terms of delivery of stocks and shares and settlement of accounts for the investing public and members of the Exchange.
