KUALA LUMPUR (July 13): A total of 8,000 people attended Bursa Malaysia’s inaugural Virtual Marketplace Fair, which aimed to promote responsible investment among retail investors. The one-day event, according to Bursa Malaysia director of securities market Azhar Mohd Zabidi, presented retail investors with the necessary knowledge and implanted the belief that investing in the capital market might be a realistic way to develop wealth and achieve financial objectives.
“As a result of their favorable impact on market liquidity and depth, retail investors have always been a top focus for the exchange.” As a result, we place a high priority on increasing financial literacy among investors.
“We want to assist them in making educated judgments while also ensuring a long-term market,” he said in a statement released today.
On July 10, the event included virtual booths from 13 broker partners, as well as 15 speeches from product specialists and corporate leaders, all of which drew a lot of attention from the virtual guests.
“Investors must grasp stock trading from both a fundamental and technical standpoint in order to trade with confidence.” To understand and invest in products that meet individual risk appetite and investment goals, thorough research and analysis is required,” Azhar added.
Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic, retail involvement in Bursa Malaysia has increased significantly.
In 2020, retail investors accounted for 34% of total deals, the greatest share in the previous decade. So far, retail involvement in 2021 appears to be on the rise.
