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.
