Document background
The Transfer Agency Agreement is essential for companies and funds operating in Malaysia that require professional transfer agency services for managing their shareholder or unitholder registers. This agreement is typically used when a company or fund needs to outsource the administrative functions of maintaining security holder records, processing transfers, and managing related investor services. The document must comply with Malaysian regulatory requirements, particularly the Capital Markets and Services Act 2007 and Securities Commission guidelines. It establishes the legal framework for the relationship between the principal company and the transfer agent, defining services, operational procedures, compliance obligations, and liability arrangements within the Malaysian regulatory context.
