InvestSmart® Fest 2025
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 engaged the public 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 InvestSmart® Fest 2025 (“ISF 2025”), themed Bijak Labur Hidup Makmur, will be held from 24 – 26 October 2025 at Hall 3 + foyer, Mid Valley Exhibition Centre, Mid Valley Mall in conjunction with the Financial Literacy Month 2025. The 3-day event aims to empower the Malaysian public to be a smart investor, particularly in a time when investments scams are rampant.

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).
