AEON Credit Service (M) Berhad (“AEON Credit” or “the Group”) today announced that it has included into the FTSE Bursa Malaysia EMAS Index, following the joint announcement of Bursa Malaysia Berhad and FTSE Russel that the Company has been included as a constituent of the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Mid 70 Index (“FBM Mid-70”) after the semi-annual review of FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index Series, effective today.

The FTSE Bursa Malaysia Emas Index comprises constituents of the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Top 100 Index and FTSE Bursa Malaysia Small Capital Index. AEON Credit’s inclusion in the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Emas Index was based on its ability to meet index requirements of having over 15% free float shares and liquidity of more than 0.05% of the free float for at least ten out of past twelve months. The indices enable market participants to measure, invest and create products in these distinct segments of the Malaysian market.

Daisuke Maeda, Managing Director of AEON Credit, said, “We are truly encouraged and inspired to be part of the FBM Mid-70 as it reflects our efforts to deliver sustainable value creation for our shareholders and stakeholders.”

“Being a constituent of the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index Series also helps enhance the visibility of AEON Credit as a dynamic and growth-oriented counter, while strengthening its appeal to a wider range of discerning foreign and local investors’’, he concluded.

Guided by our Purpose, AEON Credit continues to embrace financial inclusion by providing access to financing to individuals who have traditionally not been able to access funding while continuously embedding sustainability elements into our business strategies and operations.
