Malaysia Family Office Scheme Gains Traction as Censuria Engages AFFIN

Malaysia family office scheme activity is gaining traction as Censuria Family Office engages AFFIN Group’s wealth management and financial advisory arm to formulate its strategy ahead of registration under the Single Family Office Incentive Scheme.

Led by capital markets investor Datuk Marco Yap, Censuria invests mainly in listed equities, pre-IPO opportunities and fixed-income securities.

The firm also plans to explore co-investments, strategic growth initiatives and cross-border deals through Affin Hwang Investment Bank’s private equity arm.

AFFIN said the engagement would support long-term portfolio growth and wealth planning while strengthening Malaysia’s emerging family office ecosystem.

The Malaysia family office scheme requires single-family offices to hold at least RM30m (USD7.6m) in assets under management, spend RM500,000 annually on local operating expenditure and hire local professionals.
