What is "Shares2share" Donation Programme?

Running out of ideas about what else can you donate? Other than cash money, property, and collectibles, now you can donate your shares.

Yes. Your shares that are listed on Bursa Malaysia.

What is that?

How to donate?

Bursa Malaysia Berhad launched Shares2share, a securities donation scheme that enables investors to donate their listed securities, or proceeds from the sale of the listed securities, towards charities supported by Yayasan Bursa Malaysia.

The Shares2share scheme is a cost-effective and easily accessible method for investors to donate their securities towards charitable causes. It leverages the capital market by rallying market participants towards doing good for people and the planet.

To participate, investor donors have a choice of two options to choose from, namely:

• Model 1: Donation of securities without a tax receipt, and
• Model 2: Donation of sale proceeds with tax receipt, which allows the investor donor to receive a tax deduction.

This applies to donors who prefer to donate their listed securities under Shares2share without the need for Tax Receipts.

Under Model 2, the donor shall transfer the listed securities to the donor’s Participating Organisation’s designated exempt authorised nominee (EAN) account. There will be no change in beneficial ownership as the securities still belong to the donor.

Both these options are available to investor donors who are clients with any of the following participating organisations:

1. Affin Hwang Investment Bank Bhd

2. AmInvestment Bank Bhd

3. Apex Securities Bhd

4. BIMB Securities Sdn Bhd

5. CGS-CIMB Securities Malaysia Sdn Bhd

6. Hong Leong Investment Bank Bhd

7. Inter-Pacific Securities Sdn Bhd

8. KAF Equities Sdn Bhd

9. MIDF Amanah Investment Bank Bhd

10. M & A Securities Sdn Bhd

11. Malacca Securities Sdn Bhd

12. Maybank Investment Bank Bhd

13. RHB Investment Bank Bhd

14. TA Securities Holdings Bhd

15. Public Investment Bank Bhd

Q: Huh? What if my broker firm was not participating?

A: Never mind, you may still participate in the Shares2Share scheme but will not receive a tax receipt.
