KL Scheme Rewards Retail Investors With Shares To Boost Market

Launched on May 22, Shares2U is a securities transfer scheme that allows brokerage firms to reward retail investors with shares of companies listed on Bursa Malaysia through marketing campaigns.

These shares can be awarded when investors perform specific actions, such as opening a Central Depository System (CDS) account, depositing funds or executing trades.

The CDS functions like Singapore's Central Depository accounts. Any securities that an investor buys or sells will be credited to or debited from his CDS account.
