Malaysia’s AHAM Capital taps Temenos to modernise its fund accounting platform

By Gloria Mathias

AHAM Capital has selected Temenos Multifonds Global Accounting delivered as SaaS to drive scalable automation and future growth in the Malaysian market.

Founded in 2001 and majority-owned by CVC Capital Partners, AHAM Capital has grown to become one of Malaysia’s notable asset management firms. The firm serves the wealth needs of corporates, institutions, pension funds, government-linked companies, high-net-worth individuals, and the mass affluent, with over RM88 billion in Assets Under Administration and more than 160 funds.

Temenos Multifonds was selected after a rigorous evaluation process and detailed proof of concept, recognising Multifonds as the best solution to support AHAM’s growth over the long term. Using Multifonds, AHAM will be able to automate its end-to-end operations with a multi-asset and multi-currency solution.

Temenos Multifonds can support AHAM’s traditional business while at the same time supporting Islamic funds in accordance with Shariah standards via Multifonds’ flexibility in the chart of accounts, posting rules, and naming conventions.

The Multifonds SaaS solution will allow AHAM to benefit from the flexibility offered by a cloud-based deployment and full management of the application, removing the need to maintain software in-house. AHAM will also be able to connect to surrounding applications in the future with standard Multifonds APIs.

Allen Woo, Chief Technology Officer, AHAM Capital, shared, “We are excited to partner with Temenos Multifonds for our fund accounting system replacement. Temenos’ fully automated solution empowers AHAM to streamline end-to-end operations, achieve high STP rates, and support our long-term expansion plans by enabling new products such as digital assets and ETFs. At the same time, it will enhance service quality and foster client growth in Malaysia’s fast-evolving financial markets.”

Oded Weiss, Managing Director, Temenos Multifonds, said, “We are delighted to be chosen and work closely with AHAM on this strategic project. As a recognised leader in the Malaysian asset management industry, AHAM sought a future-ready solution, and we are confident Multifonds SaaS will meet its aspirations. By enabling a truly client-centric asset management service, this partnership will support AHAM in driving innovation and accelerating business growth. We look forward to building a strong and fruitful collaboration with AHAM.”

AHAM Capital is replacing legacy, on-premises systems with Temenos Multifonds Global Accounting on SaaS to deliver modernised technology in Malaysia.
