GROWING MALAYSIA’s LONG-TERM WEALTH The Khazanah Report 2018 highlights the goals, strategies and vision embraced by Khazanah nasional Berhad (Khazanah) in our role as the sovereign wealth fund of Malaysia. Khazanah is a Malay word of arabic origin, which means "treasure". The word can also be found in other languages carrying the same meaning. The name Khazanah nasional put together means "national treasure". The cover of The Khazanah Report 2018 draws inspiration from the Khazanah logo, which is a cembul, a Malay traditional jewellery box. The cembul represents the organisation’s role as one of the trustees of the nation’s assets. The horizontal chevrons symbolise our investments across multiple asset classes, and our mandate to grow the nation's long-term wealth.
