InvestSmart® Fest 2024

InvestSmart® is the Securities Commission Malaysia’s investor education initiative to empower investors to become more informed, self-reliant, and capable of making investment decisions. Since its inception in 2014, InvestSmart® has actively engaged the public nationwide through various initiatives, educating them on a broad range of investment-related topics. These initiatives include the annual flagship event InvestSmart® Fest, Bersama InvestSmart® @ Borneo, SC-in-the-Community, educational talks, the InvestSmart® website, and active presence on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, X and Tik Tok.

This year’s InvestSmart® Fest 2024 (“ISF 2024”), themed Bijak Labur Hidup Makmur, will be held from 11 – 13 October 2024 at Hall 2 & Hall 3, Mid Valley Exhibition Centre, Mid Valley Mall in conjunction with the World Investor Week 2024 and Financial Literacy Month 2024. The 3-day event aims to empower the Malaysian public to be a smart investor, particularly in a time when investments scams are rampant.

Over the course of three days, the event will highlight 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).
