The Full Story

Our Heritage

evolution.jpeg

Dhanam’s story began in December 2023, when Hayqal Haris, from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, assumed formal responsibility for his own portfolio as an independent investment manager. What began as disciplined, micro-scale investing evolved into a systematic practice of capital allocation — shaped by fundamental research, prudent risk management, and a macro-to-micro framework that treated each investment as a long-duration claim on future economic value.

 

In naming his portfolio, Hayqal chose the word “Dhanam” — Sanskrit for wealth — not as a symbol of mere accumulation, but as a principle of continuity: capital preserved, disciplined, and allowed to compound beyond the present generation. As his vision matured, he added “Prabawa,” a Javanese term meaning influence, power, and prestige, giving the company a deeper identity. Together, Dhanam Prabawa embodies more than ownership; it reflects the conviction that private capital, when governed with sovereignty and foresight, can shape outcomes quietly yet decisively.

 

Through consistency and restraint, early gains were redeployed rather than consumed. Capital allocation was guided by a defined investment mandate: structural demand, durable pricing power, governance integrity, and alignment with long-term secular transitions. Over time, the portfolio was deliberately constructed across Malaysia and global markets across industries, expanding into more than one hundred companies worldwide. Each position was selected not for visibility or short-term momentum, but for intrinsic value and permanence.

 

As the portfolio matured, the institutional foundations of Dhanam were laid. An internal governance framework, codified investment policies, and performance reporting standards were introduced to institutionalize discipline in the stewardship of capital. 

Looking forward, Dhanam’s trajectory extends beyond minority holdings into majority ownership. Subsidiaries bearing the Dhanam standard will be built in sectors of structural consequence — energy, agriculture, shipping, healthcare, and technology. These enterprises are designed not only to generate risk-adjusted returns, but also to reinforce Malaysia’s economic resilience while contributing to global stability. With legal incorporation scheduled for late 2026, this transition represents the natural progression from an independently managed portfolio to a structured holding entity with permanence, clarity, and institutional discipline.

 

The year 2025 is a pivotal chapter. It marks the branding of Dhanam Prabawa Holdings, the articulation of principles and standards, and the formalization of governance, reporting, and identity. It is the moment when Dhanam moved beyond being a portfolio and began shaping itself as an enduring institution.

 

This is the heritage of Dhanam: from micro-investing to sovereign-style allocation; from individual portfolio construction to an institutional holding platform; and from capital stewardship today to subsidiaries of consequence tomorrow. A deliberate journey, guided by independence, discipline, and permanence — transforming vision into enduring influence.

It does not engage in any activities regulated under the Trust Companies Act 1949, which governs companies that act as trustees, executors, administrators, or provide fiduciary services on behalf of clients or the public. Dhanam neither manages estates nor holds assets in trust for third parties and therefore falls entirely outside the scope of this legislation.

Dhanam conducts no foreign exchange operations for clients, does not process remittances, and does not operate e-wallets, payment gateways, or any other money service businesses requiring licensing under this Act.

​

Dhanam is not subject to the Labuan Financial Services and Securities Act 2010 or the Labuan Islamic Financial Services and Securities Act 2010, which cover offshore financial entities involved in fund management, captive insurance, trust business, leasing, factoring, or offshore banking in the Labuan International Business and Financial Centre.

The company does not engage in activities requiring dealings with public funds, government contracts, or procurement processes that may give rise to corruption risk.

Dhanam does not hold monies, dividends, deposits, or unclaimed financial assets on behalf of third parties. The company’s investment cash flows are fully proprietary, managed solely for internal purposes.

​

Further, Dhanam does not engage in any activities governed by the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (AMLA) — such as money services business, remittance, or financial intermediation for clients.
