KUALA
LUMPUR, MALAYSIA -�Media OutReach�-
30 May 2019 -�FSMOne (formerly known as Fundsupermart.com), the online
investment distribution arm of iFAST Capital Sdn. Bhd. ("iFAST Capital") is now
offering round-the-clock bond trading through its in-house marketplace, FSMOne
Bond Express. Previously, investors are only able to trade retail and wholesale
bonds via FSMOne Bond Express on weekdays from 9am till 5pm excluding weekends
and public holidays. The 24-hour continuous, one-of-a-kind initiative serves to
enhance investors' experience by allowing them the flexibility of transacting
bonds at any time of the day.�

This
initiative comes on the back of FSMOne's launch of retail bonds in early April
2019 in line with the Securities Commission Malaysia's (SC) new bond seasoning
framework. iFAST Capital is the first bonds broker to enable investors to
transact retail-qualified bonds and sukuk from as low as RM1,000 in nominal
value through FSMOne and through the FA companies and financial institutions
which use iFAST's Business-to-Business (B2B) platform services.

"Since
the launch of retail bonds, we are seeing more and more D-I-Y investors showing
strong interest in the bond market. They not only are able to start their bond investment
journey at RM1,000, but they can do so now at their own convenience and in
their own comfort whenever they like. This initiative is made possible by marrying
our technological expertise with our drive to provide more than just a place
for our investors to trade," says Mr Wong Weiyi, General Manager of FSMOne
Malaysia.

Besides
this new initiative, clients can view their bond investments in their holdings as
bonds are now transacted instantly on FSMOne platform.

"Bond
transactions through FSMOne Bond Express are transacted on a real time basis
and investors can view their bond investments in the holdings immediately now
instead of the 4 working days that is taken for settlements. This also means that
investors are eligible to earn interest starting from the date of purchase," Mr
Wong Weiyi commented.

This
initiative applies not only to retail bonds but also to the wholesale segment
under the FSMOne Bond Express that many are not familiar or even aware of. Only
sophisticated investors whose total net assets exceed RM3 million or gross
annual income exceeds RM300,000 could invest in wholesale bonds and find a host
of interesting foreign currency bonds in SGD and USD that serves to diversify
their portfolio.

"Investors
can now look beyond the local scene. Bonds that are distributed on the Wholesale
Bond Express list has undergone thorough reviews by our in-house investment
committee to be qualified for us to make a market. Our own analysts are
constantly keeping an eye out to reassess the creditworthiness of these
companies and the attractiveness of these bonds so that our investors are
well-informed of the latest happening about their bond investments," Mr Wong
Weiyi further commented.

Alongside
other growing fintech players providing novel investment solutions that
leverage on technology to ease investors' participation, FSMOne's introduction
of opening up trading hours beyond the normal trading "window" is an evidence
that the market player is keen to adapt to the changing needs of investors.

"Everything
is all about convenience in today's world. You practically have the world at your
fingertips. We are just doing that, bringing bonds to our investors' fingertips
whenever they want to and help them understand that investing in bonds is
friendly and not as complex as they think," says Mr Wong Weiyi.
