IOI Properties Group Bhd has received official approval from the Securities Commission Malaysia regarding the license application for its proposed subsidiary, IRMSB. This regulatory green light permits the entity to conduct fund management activities specifically restricted to real estate investment trusts (REITs).
According to the original publisher, the approval was granted by the Securities Commission through an official letter dated August 18, 2026. The document was formally received by IOI Properties following their submission for the fund management license.
The proposed IRMSB is now positioned to move forward with its mandate to manage assets within the REIT framework. This development marks a significant step for the company as it seeks to formalize its operations within the regulated fund management sector.
