SOU Socheat, Director General of the Securities and Exchange Regulator of Cambodia (SERC), alongside other key officials, marked the collaboration for launching Cambodia’s first public fund and collective investment scheme.
Pending approval from the SERC, this initiative will be a landmark achievement in the Kingdom’s financial services sector, providing retail investors with alternative investment options beyond traditional bank deposits. The fund will be managed by Banjaran Asset Management (Cambodia), with Stronghold Trustee serving as the trustee and Singapore-based Banjaran Asset Management as the investment adviser.
