This year InvestSmart® Fest 2023 (“ISF 2023”), themed 10 Tahun Memperkasa Rakyat Malaysia, will be held from 17 – 19 November at Hall 4, KL Convention Centre in conjunction with the World Investor Week 2023. The 3-day event, aims to empower the Malaysian public to be a smart investor, particularly in a time when investments scams are rampant.
ISF 2023 will bring together capital market institutions, associations, industry players and relevant agencies under one roof. The 3-day event will 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).
This event will feature talks, panel discussions and fireside chats by leading industry experts to share their insights on the Malaysian capital market and investment opportunities available.
Additionally, investED, the flagship capital market initiative aimed at enhancing graduate employability and ensuring a sustainable talent pipeline to help ease the shortage of skilled talent in the capital market, will also be participating in ISF 2023.
