Market Insight: Investment Analyst
Investment analyst pay in Malaysia depends a lot on which side of the market you're on — buy-side (asset managers, funds) versus sell-side (brokerage research) — and on bonus, which can be a meaningful slice of total pay. The CFA charter is the recognised credential, and progress is built on the quality of your research calls and financial modelling. KL's fund houses, investment banks and research outfits are the main employers. Strong performers often move toward portfolio management, where earnings step up considerably.
