About Us
Enabling Wealth Creation through Informed Investment Decisions
EquitiesTracker Holdings Berhad (Company No. 1280985-X) (ETH) was founded by Jim Vong in 1976. We are in the business creating and fostering an investment community. This community was created to give investors a key advantage in the stock market through time-tested value investing principles.
One of the ways we build this community is by providing retail and corporate clients financial data through our proprietary software. Another software that facilitates value in the community is our portfolio management software which gives you a bird’s eye view of your entire stock portfolio with clicks of a few button. Last but not least, we bind the community further by providing value investing-based education, giving our members an edge in the stock market.
Founded in 1976 by our late founder, Jim Vong, we began our foray into the investing space by providing financial data to large financial institutions in Malaysia. One day, an elderly gentleman approached our founder sobbing. He wondered why and how has his retirement savings been wiped out the stock market. Jim, despite being a financially literate person, could not find the words to comfort the grieving man. That experience kindled the desire for the creation of an education arm in EquitiesTracker International.
Our education arm is in the business of providing retail investors the ability to even the playing field in the stock market. With our long contact hours, below ‘market’ product pricing, and wealth of experience, we continue to give access to investors the required skill to shield themselves from ‘sharks’ of the stock market while creating wealth consistently overtime.
From one crying man to a 2,000 – strong investor community, EquitiesTracker International is proud to have been the backbone of so many investors for over a decade. With the strong belief that wealth is created patiently, we have always preached the message to our students that they are the stewards of their money and that no one else better understands their investing goals than themselves. With this in mind, our only role in your wealth creation journey is providing you the relevant equipment to navigate the treacherous stock market.
