Securities Commission Malaysia
Updated 2026-09-29
The Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) regulates the capital markets, including investment products, fund managers, and licensed advisers. It maintains a list of entities licensed to offer investment products and warns the public about unlicensed schemes.
When it matters
If you were pulled into a fake trading platform or an unlicensed investment scheme, the SC is a relevant channel to check and report to, alongside the police. Before putting money into any platform, you can check the SC’s list of licensed entities, which is one of the simplest ways to avoid an investment scam in the first place.
