Censuria Family Office, under the leadership of esteemed capital markets investor Datuk Marco Yap, has engaged AFFIN Group’s, wealth management and financial advisory arm to formulate its family office strategy under the AFFIN DIVENTIUM Private Banking segment. The engagement aligns with its preparations to register under Malaysia’s Single Family Office Incentive Scheme with the Securities Commission Malaysia.
Censuria Family Office primarily invests in listed equities, pre-IPO opportunities, and fixed income securities. It plans to further expand its portfolio through collaboration with Affin Hwang Investment Bank Berhad’s Private Equity arm to explore co-investment opportunities, strategic growth initiatives, and cross-border investments within the AFFIN Group’s ecosystem.
Commenting on the engagement, Datuk Marco Yap, said, “The Group has earned our confidence with its comprehensive investment banking, wealth management, and brokerage solutions. It is able to provide us with co-investment opportunities and connect us with both private and institutional investors across Malaysia and the region, delivering tailored and robust investment solutions to Censuria Family Office and also our private equity arm, Censuria Capital Sdn Bhd.”
Dr. Calvin Goon, Managing Director of Wealth Management, Affin Bank Berhad, said, “We are excited to work alongside Censuria Family Office, delivering tailored advisory, investment, and wealth management solutions. Together, we aim to drive long-term portfolio growth, co-investment initiatives, and strategic wealth management outcomes, while strengthening Malaysia’s family office ecosystem.”
Family offices in Malaysia have been gaining traction in recent years, fueled by growing interest from ultra-high-net-worth individuals in structured investments, succession planning, and long-term wealth preservation. The Single Family Office Incentive Scheme offers a tax framework designed to position Malaysia as a competitive wealth management hub, requiring a minimum of RM30 million in assets under management, RM500,000 in annual local operating expenditure, and the employment of local professionals.
