Key Note Speaker at this event was Abdul Razak, Chief Executive
Officer, Kenanga Investors Berhad and spoke on “Investment Management –
A Malaysian Experience”. He touched on how Investment Management in
Malaysia had evolved over the years and how it had benefitted the
Malaysian high net worth investors.
The other speakers at this event were Hasitha Premarathne, Chief
Financial Officer of Brandix Lanka and Manosh Kulasena, Associate
Financial Analyst at KICL.
With the boom in the economic activities and the resulting growth in
the equities market, KICL has identified a gap for individuals and
corporations to participate in a professional manner in the Stock Market
with quality research and sound advisory services. With the technical
support of KICL's Malaysian Partners in research and marketing, KICL
will fill this gap with the provision of Investment Management Services
to Sri Lankans wishing to participate in the Colombo Stock Exchange.

individualized investment management services including: investment
funds, portfolio management, gilt-edged and other investments tailored
to a broad spectrum of individual and corporate clients.
