Finding meaning in my work

Equity capital markets (ECM)

My work doesn’t save lives.

Nor does it change anyone’s life.

I help corporations to raise funds through equity capital transactions.

As PGF Capital Berhad (formerly known as Poly Glass Fibre (M) Berhad) (“𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐲”) announced the completion of its rights issue of irredeemable convertible preference shares (“𝐈𝐂𝐏𝐒”), I am glad to be part of the team that helped the Company to raise funds for its business.

It has been a pleasure working with the management of the Company and the team at Affin Hwang Investment Bank Berhad on this rights issue of ICPS and amendments to the constitution of the Company.

I always feel a profound sense of satisfaction each time I complete a fund-raising exercise after working on it for months.

What you see in the photo is the Company’s abridged prospectus for its rights issue of ICPS.

Behind the scene and sitting on my desk are voluminous documents reviewed during the legal due diligence.

Of course, it was not my effort alone. I am thankful to my team members who always rise to the challenge.
