CBS-1 Securities Trading & Execution 

Introduction

This chapter examines CBS-1: Securities Trading & Execution as one of the critical business services of Maybank Investment Bank Berhad from an operational resilience perspective.

Securities trading and execution form the backbone of the institution’s capital markets activities, enabling clients to access equity, derivatives, fixed income, and other investment instruments across domestic and international markets.

Given its direct interface with financial markets, clients, exchanges, clearing houses, and regulators, any disruption to this service could have immediate financial, reputational, and systemic consequences.

As such, understanding its end-to-end business processes is fundamental to strengthening resilience capabilities.

The chapter provides a structured decomposition of this high-level critical business service into detailed Sub-Critical Business Services (Sub-CBS), mapping the full trade lifecycle from client onboarding, order capture, and pre-trade risk controls, to execution, clearing, settlement, margin management, reconciliation, regulatory reporting, and business continuity arrangements.

By articulating these granular processes, the chapter enables clearer visibility of operational dependencies, control points, technology enablement, third-party interfaces, and regulatory touchpoints that collectively sustain trading operations under both normal and stressed conditions.

Purpose of the Chapter

The purpose of this chapter is to establish a comprehensive process-level understanding of CBS-1: Securities Trading & Execution to support operational resilience planning.

Specifically, it aims to:

• Identify and define the detailed sub-processes that collectively deliver the critical business service.
• Enable structured mapping of people, systems, facilities, and third-party dependencies supporting each Sub-CBS.
• Facilitate impact tolerance setting, scenario testing, and vulnerability assessments.
• Support compliance with regulatory expectations on operational resilience and business continuity.

By the end of this chapter, readers should be able to clearly articulate the end-to-end trade lifecycle within Maybank Investment Bank, understand where operational vulnerabilities may arise, and appreciate how resilience controls must be embedded across the entire trading value chain.

A clear understanding of these interconnected processes strengthens the institution’s ability to anticipate, withstand, respond to, and recover from operational disruptions—thereby safeguarding clients, market integrity, and institutional stability.
