With the completion of our technology revamp in 2013, we embarked on our journey forward anchored on two focal points: value extraction and building for the future.
The financial year under review saw us take a significant step forward in realising value from our latent potential to turn in our best financial performance since 2008. However, this is but the tip of the iceberg as we continue to further expand our capabilities to set the pace for the remaining two years of our strategic blueprint. Our performance in FY2014 has created significant value for our shareholders as we continued to build our investing base by reaching out to new investors and enhancing services for existing ones.

We continue to extract value from the building blocks put in place. The initiatives implemented in 2014 together with the heightened engagement with stakeholders and outreach programmes have resulted in greater retail participation and market activity. We remain steadfast in our commitment to realise the full value of every effort and initiative undertaken to progress the marketplace.
Launched in April 2014, Bursa Marketplace is a first-of-its-kind virtual marketplace that brought a unique experience to all investors, especially to new investors. The platform provides access to market knowledge, market insights and trading ideas as they chart their ‘Trip to Trade’ while growing their financial literacy. With BursaMKTPLC, we are putting the ‘market-in-the-pocket’ of all Malaysians by providing online access to comprehensive, objective and accurate information about our marketplace.
Bursa Malaysia continues to set higher benchmarks for sustainable practices and good corporate governance. The launch of the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Index in December 2014, the first internationally benchmarked index in Asia, provides a new value proposition and perspective of listed companies vis-a-vis their environmental and societal initiatives. Our improving Corporate Governance track record has been internationally endorsed, which places us in a strong position as we strive towards becoming ASEAN's Multinational Marketplace.
Our financial performance in 2014 is the best since 2008 and is trending in the right direction.
