SC calls on younger generation to participate in capital market

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia needs more young people to invest in the capital market to ensure that it remains vibrant, said Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) chairman Datuk Seri Dr Awang Adek Hussin.

So far, he said investors aged 45 and below only constitute 7.0 per cent of total investors in the stock market, and the number of those in the 20-30 age bracket is expected to be even lower.
