KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia Bhd will be holding its 2nd annual Vitrual Marketplace Fair on Saturday, July 23, 2022, to encourage new and existing investors to gain more insight into the stock market.
The stock exchange operator said the fair will focus on four community segments: beginners, seasoned investors, female investors as well as millennials, and emphasise both conventional and Shariah-compliant investing in the equity as well as the derivatives markets.
"This one-day event will have many exciting activities for experienced traders and new traders alike, to learn more about how investing in equities is great for building wealth, trading in a volatile market, NFTs vs Stocks and trading palm oil futures such as FCPO and FEPO," it said in a statement.
It said the line-up will include senior representatives from Main Market companies such as IHH Healthcare Bhd, Farm Fresh Bhd, Digi.com Bhd, Sime Darby Property Bhd, GHL Systems Bhd and Scicom (MSC) Bhd, who will be sharing their corporate and growth plans.
There will be a virtual exhibition by 15 exhibitors from participating organisations and regulatory bodies, showcasing products and services.
The public will also have access to Bursa Academy, Bursa Marketplace and Bursa Anywhere to learn more about Bursa Malaysia’s offerings.
In addition, there will be various webinars on topics related to the equity market (conventional and Shariah), as well as the derivatives market.
This event is free and open to all members of the public, with giveaway prizes for participants.
While participants are not required to be Bursa Marketplace users, Bursa Malaysia strongly encourages everyone to sign up as a Bursa Marketplace user in order to gain access to the many tools, research reports and interactive platforms available to help in the investment journey.
