INVEST Fair 2026, Malaysia’s largest retail investment fair, concluded successfully after attracting more than 15,000 visitors over two days at Mid Valley Exhibition Centre, Kuala Lumpur. The event, held on 18–19 July 2026, was organized by ShareInvestor Malaysia Sdn Bhd, a provider of investor relations solutions, market intelligence, and financial education. It featured over 100 speakers, 40 exhibitors, and more than 70 hours of panel discussions and talks covering capital markets, equities, wealth management, personal finance, and financial technology.
Officiating the event, Dato’ Fad’l Mohamed, Chief Executive Officer of Bursa Malaysia, highlighted the growing retail investor base, noting that more than 325,000 new retail CDS accounts were opened as at mid-June this year. “While saving helps build financial discipline and security, investing allows Malaysians to put their money to work, grow their wealth over time and work towards their long-term financial goals,” he said. “Through investor education initiatives and a wider range of investment opportunities, Bursa Malaysia is committed to helping Malaysians invest with confidence while participating in the nation's economic growth.”
This year’s edition, themed “Money. Finance. Technology,” explored how artificial intelligence, digital platforms, and emerging financial technologies are reshaping the investment landscape. Mr Christopher Lee, Chief Executive Officer and Director of AlphaInvest Holdings Pte. Ltd., the holding company of ShareInvestor Malaysia, noted that “access to sophisticated tools is no longer the exclusive domain of institutional investors. However, with more data comes more noise, and successful investors will be those who know how to interpret information and make informed decisions.”
A key highlight was the fireside chat, “Mapping Malaysia’s Investment Future,” featuring Ms Stephanie Tan, Director, Group Commercial & Market Coverage of Bursa Malaysia, moderated by Dr Wong Chin Yoong, Professor in Economics at Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman. The discussion explored Bursa Malaysia’s role in strengthening the capital market ecosystem through the Capital Market Masterplan 2026-2030. Ms Tan emphasized that “the Malaysian capital market is becoming more accessible, more diverse and more relevant to everyday investors. Bursa Malaysia is expanding investment opportunities and strengthening the market ecosystem so that more Malaysians can participate in wealth creation.”
New event highlights included Duit Fest, focusing on personal finance; the Career Partner Area, connecting visitors with financial services careers; interactive challenges like the Golden Ball Pit Challenge and Kick & Win Challenge; and the Pickleball Bull League, adding a lifestyle element.
