28 January 2026
Gambit Group has been awarded Brand of the Year 2025-2026 in the category of Innovative Hybrid Wealth & Digital Asset Management at The BrandLaureate Brand of the Year Awards presented on Wednesday, 28 January 2026 at The Majestic Hotel, Kuala Lumpur.
The recognition reinforces Gambit Group’s position as a pioneer in hybrid wealth management, which is defined by its ability to safeguard both traditional and digital assets within a single and regulated trust structure. Through its Hybrid Asset Trust (H.A.T), Gambit is the first in Malaysia to offer an integrated solution that addresses the growing convergence of traditional wealth planning and digital asset ownership.
As markets evolve and investor expectations shift, Gambit Group has distinguished itself through a hybrid wealth model that integrates disciplined asset management with forward-looking digital strategies. This helps their clients to be more resilient, diversified and future-ready in their approach to wealth in general.
The BrandLaureate Award recognises Gambit Group’s commitment to innovation that is purposeful, structured and grounded in long-term value creation.
Gambit has always been focused on building an ecosystem that bridges established wealth principles with emerging asset classes. The systems are supported by governance, risk management, and deep market expertise. This hybrid strategy has helped clients to navigate volatility while remaining positioned for growth in a rapidly transforming financial landscape.
The BrandLaureate recognises brands that help transform vision into measurable action, a philosophy that mirrors Gambit Group’s leadership mindset and execution-first culture from the start.
Commenting on the recognition, Datuk Clifford Hii, Group Chief Executive Officer of Gambit Group, said the award reflects the company’s long-term strategy and collective ambition, “We’re proud to receive this award, as it reinforces what we have been building towards. A wealth management platform that evolves with the future of finance while still remaining anchored in strong fundamentals. Most importantly, it enables our clients to safeguard both traditional and digital assets with confidence across generations.”
He added, “My mission is to democratise legacy planning for every Malaysian family. Wealth protection and succession should not be exclusive. It should be accessible, structured and future-ready, so families can preserve what matters most with confidence.”
Under Gambit Group’s leadership, the company has continued to expand its capabilities across wealth management and digital asset solutions. This helps strengthen its position as a trusted partner for individuals, families and institutions navigating increasingly complex financial decisions.
The Brand of the Year award is both a milestone and a reflection of Gambit Group’s broader ambition, which is to shape the next chapter of wealth management in the region.
Gambit Group is combining strategic foresight, innovation and discipline to continue pushing the boundaries of what modern wealth solutions can look like. At the same time, it delivers clarity, structure and opportunity in an evolving financial world.
As Gambit Group moves forward, the company remains focused on advancing its hybrid asset trust ecosystem through H.A.T, strengthening protections for multi-asset wealth and setting new benchmarks for how traditional and digital assets can be managed together in a rapidly evolving financial landscape.
