KUALA LUMPUR (July 22): Maybank Investment Bank (Maybank IB) has been named by Euromoney as the Best Investment Bank in Malaysia for 2015.

In a statement today, Maybank said Euromoney noted Maybank IB “boosted its revenues in a period when others fell back.

Particularly strong showings in Equity Capital Markets (ECM) and Debt Capital Markets (DCM) were backed up by a decent performance in Merger & Acquisition (M&A).”

Recently, it has also been named as the Best Domestic Equity House in Malaysia by Asiamoney. Asiamoney cited Maybank IB’s “improvement in market share of primary equity capital markets activity in Malaysia as overall volumes stayed flat” and the fact that it “doubled its roster of deals over the period, to 14, while also increasing its market share to 17% from 11.5%”, as some of the key reasons for naming the investment bank as the Best Domestic Equity House in Malaysia.

John Chong, CEO of Maybank IB said, “[These recognitions] reaffirm our belief that consistent, long-term growth comes from building sustainable relationships with our clients, by continuing to deliver the best for them.”

Awards from Euromoney and Asiamoney are highly regarded within the region's financial services industry.
