28 Oct 2025 CW Team

Standard Capital Markets Limited has announced the successful sale of its Security Receipts (SRs), generating a profit exceeding 50 per cent on the transaction.

The achievement reflects the company’s strong analytical capabilities, prudent investment approach, and commitment to maximising shareholder value. The sale also highlights Standard Capital Markets’ expertise in asset management and recovery, reinforcing its financial strength and liquidity position.

Over the years, the company has maintained a disciplined investment strategy, focusing on identifying high-potential opportunities within the financial sector. Its active participation in the distressed asset and debt recovery segment has allowed it to generate strong returns while effectively managing risk. The successful monetisation of SRs at a premium once again demonstrates the effectiveness of this strategic approach.

“The sale of SRs at a significant profit underscores our focus on strategic investments, sound risk management, and disciplined execution. This milestone reaffirms our ability to identify value-driven opportunities and translate them into tangible financial results. We remain committed to sustainable growth and long-term value creation for our stakeholders.”

The transaction marks a significant step in the company’s ongoing efforts to optimise its investment portfolio and strengthen its capital base. Standard Capital Markets continues to explore similar opportunities across financial markets, maintaining a balance between profitability and prudent risk management.

Looking ahead, the company aims to expand its footprint across multiple segments of the capital markets, supported by a robust governance framework, experienced leadership, and a forward-looking investment philosophy. With these foundations, Standard Capital Markets Limited is well positioned to deliver sustained growth and enhanced shareholder value in the years ahead.
