FOR OUR EMPLOYEES

KWAP Learning, Engagement and Advisory Programme (LEAP)
KWAP LEAP is an initiative introduced to strengthen the relationship
with external fund managers (EFMs) managing KWAP portfolio, while
emphasising value addition and knowledge transfer for the benefit of
KWAP employees.

Outcome
i. Initiated in 2021, six sessions were conducted by both EFMs
managing the Global Equity Multi-Factor mandate, and the
attendance for all sessions were consistently full house. Building
on the success of LEAP back in 2021, LEAP continued in
2022 covering topics on Factor Investing, Sovereign Asset
Management, ESG Integration into Factor Investing, as well as,
the Future of ESG;
ii. Five sessions took place in 2022, conducted by experienced
speakers from two of KWAP’s appointed EFMs via an online
platform ie. MS Teams; and

iii. An average of 60 participants took part in each session.

KWAP Upskilling Programme

The KWAP Upskilling Programme, first launched in October 2020, is
the embodiment of one of many qualities KWAP stands for and that is
instilling the spirit of life-long learning and upskilling. This programme
was designed for non-executives and in collaboration with Azman
Hashim International Business School (UTM-AHIBS) which enables
our workforce to continuously meet industry standards, pave the
way for career progression and produce competent talent who
are ‘future-ready’. KWAP Upskilling Programme paves the way to
improved succession planning of KWAP’s internal employees, even
at the non-executive level.

Following the completion of UPSKILL 1.0 with Azman Hashim
International Business School (UTM-AHIBS), KWAP received industry
recognition at the Employee Experience Awards 2022 (ExA). KWAP
was among the top three finalists for “Best Organisational Upskilling
and Reskilling Strategy” category in June 2022.
Outcome

i. Building on this success story, KWAP continues its engagement
with UTM-AHIBS, now known as UPSKILL 2.0. 16 dedicated
employees have been enrolled and the programme is scheduled
to end in December 2023.
