What kt-zmico does

KTZ Ruby Hill Securities Co., Ltd. (KTzRH) is a Yangon-based securities firm operating as an official trading participant of the Yangon Stock Exchange (YSX). The company was established as a joint venture between Myanmar's Loi Hein Group — described as a leading local consumer products provider — and Thailand's KT-ZMICO Securities Company Limited (itself a partnership between Krung Thai Bank and Seamico Securities plc with over 40 years of Thai securities experience), and has held full SECM licenses covering brokerage, dealing, financial advisory, and underwriting since YSX opened on December 9, 2015. KTzRH serves individual and institutional investors seeking access to Myanmar's capital market, alongside corporate clients requiring IPO underwriting and advisory services.

The company's core product set spans four regulated activities: securities brokerage (execution and portfolio management for clients on YSX), securities dealing (proprietary trading under order-driven and quote-driven orientations), financial advisory (M&A, restructuring, due diligence, and capital structure work), and investment banking (IPO and private placement underwriting, including cross-border listings on the Stock Exchange of Thailand). Distribution is delivered through a Yangon headquarters at No.117 Warden Street and a corporate office at Union Financial Centre, supplemented by telephone-based trading, assigned marketing officers, and a proprietary digital stack comprising the WebTrade web platform and the mTrade mobile application (Android and iOS). An in-house research function publishes equity analysis on listed YSX names. The technology layer is conventional brokerage infrastructure — order management with standardized status codes (M-Match, O-Open, PO-Pending Order, PX-Pending Cancel, R-Reject, X-Cancel, XA-Cancel Approved, XE-System Auto Cancel) — without disclosed AI/ML capabilities.

KTzRH monetizes through SECM-fixed tiered commissions ranging from 1.0% on trades up to 500,000 MMK down to 0.4% (capped at MMK 400,000 per transaction) for trades above 100,000,000 MMK, plus a 0.1% stamp duty on buy orders. Beyond commissions, revenue is generated through underwriting retainers and advisory fees for IPOs and M&A mandates, as well as proprietary dealing P&L. Customer fund flows are processed through deposit accounts at KBZ Bank (Call Deposit) and CB Bank (Current). The company also operates an AML/CFT compliance program referencing the UN Security Council Consolidated List. No revenue, headcount, or growth metrics are publicly disclosed.
