KUCHING, Sept 13: The Securities Commission (SC) Malaysia will be organising a ‘Bersama InvestSmart @Sarawak 2022’ forum at VivaCity Megamall on Sept 17 and 18 with aims to raise awareness on the importance of financial and retirement planning as well as on investment scams and frauds among the public.
According to a media release today, the event is part of SC’s InvestSmart initiative, a comprehensive and inclusive investment literacy outreach launched in 2014 which has since reached out to investors nationwide through seminars, roadshows and community engagements as well as digital channels.
The two-day event, themed ‘Silap Labur Duit Lebur’, also aims to create awareness of the opportunity to increase wealth by investing in legitimate investment products offered in the Malaysian capital market.
This year’s event will bring together capital market institutions, associations, industry players and relevant agencies under one roof to showcase products and services offered by capital market intermediaries including stocks, bonds, unit trusts, private retirement schemes (PRS), exchange-traded funds (ETF), equity crowdfunding (ECF), peer-to-peer financing (P2P), digital investment management (DIM) and digital asset exchanges (DAX).
It will feature over 25 exhibitors representing key capital market players in Sarawak as well as talks and panel discussions by industry experts who will share their insights of the Malaysian capital market and investment opportunities available.
Members of the public who attend the event stand a chance to win lucky draws by participating in pop quizzes held throughout the event.
As in previous years, the SC will offer complimentary financial planning sessions under the #FinPlan4u.
Licensed financial planners will be giving out 160 free sessions as part of this initiative, available on a first-come-first-serve basis.
