UBB is a trustee company. So which company is running the investment scheme? To collect money from the public you need to be licensed under the interest schemes act 2016 or the capital markets services act. In any case need prospectus. Where is the prospectus ? Can’t find any in their website.

Gives them the authority to invest but at the instructions of somebody else ? Who is the somebody else? Basically that somebody else needs to be licensed.

refer to GUY3288 posting above, see Management of trust capital,....there is a mention of "Authorised Investment",....

thus i think the more appropriate question would be "what are those?"

but then, as per CYCLOPES post about Trustee's ACT 8/1/d,...which reads...
(d) to act as investing and financial agent for and on behalf
of executors, administrators and trustees or any other
persons whatsoever, and to receive money in trust for
investment and to allow interest thereon until invested;
and to undertake for and on behalf of executors,
administrators and trustees or any other persons whatsoever
the negotiation of loans of all descriptions and the procuring
and lending of money on the security of any description
of property, immovable or movable, or without taking
any security on such terms as may be arranged, and to
advance and lend moneys to protect any estate, trust or
property entrusted to the company as aforesaid and to
charge interest upon any such advances:
Provided that nothing herein contained shall be held
either to restrict or extend the powers of the company as
trustee or agent under the terms of any trust or agency
that may be conferred upon it;

.......btw,...since they are governed by this ACT....
i cannot find in the ACT that mentions that THEY MUST have a license to do that management of trust capital....
i could be wrong or missed reading it....
Please go thru and correct me if i erred in reading it
TRUST COMPANIES ACT
http://www.agc.gov.my/agcportal/uploads/fi...N/Act%20100.pdf

NO wonder you cannot find more info about how they operate in their website......for as per the ACT, they are obligate / mandated to just need to submit annual statement to the Register....no mention of the need to put for public viewing too...



The Trust Company act must be read together with the interest schemes act and the capital market and services act.

In short anyone collecting money from the general public for investment purposes needs to be licensed to do so. The purpose for which the money is collected and how it is going to be invested needs to be made clear in a document which is called a Prospectus.
