‘‘The willingness of new market players to come under regulatory supervision provides confidence to investors and constitutes a critical function that we carry out to ensure that the conduct of licensees is aligned to our regulatory framework and international standards. The outcome is that we can at least ensure the markets are fair, orderly, and efficient,’’ Shamiah said.

A fund manager is a manager of a collective investment scheme, registered venture capital company or an investment adviser who manages a portfolio of securities in excess of an amount prescribed by the Authority.

An authorized securities dealer means a person authorized to deal in securities and operate in a specific market segment as may be prescribed by the Authority.

The licensees’ customer-facing staff will be required to undertake the Securities Industry Certification Programme (SICP) within a year from the date of licensing. The licenses will remain in place perpetually unless revoked at the request of either the firm or by the Authority.
