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 in Kuala Lumpur. The event, held on 18 and 19 July 2026, was organised by ShareInvestor Malaysia Sdn Bhd, a provider of investor relations solutions, market intelligence and financial education.
The fair featured more than 100 speakers and 40 exhibitors, delivering over 70 hours of panel discussions and talks covering capital markets, stock investing, equities, wealth management, personal finance and financial technology. New highlights included Duit Fest, Career Partner Area, Golden Ball Pit Challenge, Kick & Win Challenge, and Pickleball Bull League, with lucky draws offering cash prizes and rewards worth up to RM100,000.
Officiating the event, Dato’ Fad’l Mohamed, Chief Executive Officer of Bursa Malaysia, noted that more than 325,000 new retail Central Depository System (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.
Themed “Money. Finance. Technology.”, INVEST Fair 2026 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, said, “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.”
Participants demonstrated strong interest in equities, wealth creation, property investment and trading strategies, with many sessions drawing full audiences. Talks were conducted in English, Bahasa Malaysia and Mandarin, making investment education accessible to diverse backgrounds.
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 through the Capital Market Masterplan 2026-2030, which outlines priorities to strengthen Malaysia’s capital market ecosystem.
Ms Tan said, “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.”
The event also introduced the Career Partner Area, connecting visitors with opportunities in financial services, and lifestyle activities like Pickleball Bull League, which attracted strong public participation.
As Malaysia’s premier retail investment event, INVEST Fair continues to promote financial literacy and informed investing, reinforcing AlphaInvest’s commitment to connecting investors, financial institutions and industry experts.
