This book covers the most recent initiatives in the Malaysian capital market. In doing so, it discusses the Leading Entrepreneur Accelerator Platform Market (LEAP Market), and Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC). With regard to the LEAP Market, the book elaborates on its inception, value proposition, governance, performance, issues, and strengths. It also compares LEAP Market with the Main and ACE Markets, and draws the experience of the Korea New Exchange (KONEX) for LEAP Market to emulate and improve its operation, showing how KONEX provides valuable lessons for Malaysia's LEAP Market, as the former has two times more listed firms than the latter. Similarly, the book also includes discussions on the inception of SPAC, its features, volumes, risk, issues, strength, life cycle and time frame of SPAC IPO, and includes case studies of the four firms listed under SPAC IPO. Put together, the book offers a compilation of facts, analysis and insights from these new market initiatives, and provides a reference for the financial market industry, regulators, market practitioners, analysts, researchers, government authorities and universities.
