INVEST Fair 2026, Malaysia’s largest retail investment event, officially opened on 18 July 2026 at the Mid Valley Exhibition Centre in Kuala Lumpur, drawing together investing, financial education and financial technology under one roof. Organised by ShareInvestor Malaysia Sdn Bhd, the two-day event was officiated by Dato’ Fad’l Mohamed, Chief Executive Officer of Bursa Malaysia, who returned as Guest-of-Honour.
In his opening address, Dato’ Fad’l Mohamed said, “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. It is encouraging to see more Malaysians taking that step, with more than 325,000 new retail CDS accounts opened as at mid-June this year.” He emphasised that as participation grows, investors need access to trusted information, practical knowledge and confidence to navigate the market.
Themed “Money. Finance. Technology.”, INVEST Fair 2026 spans Halls 1, 2 and 3 of the venue and is expected to welcome approximately 20,000 visitors on 18 and 19 July. This year’s edition features more than 100 industry speakers and over 40 exhibiting organisations across more than 70 hours of talks and panel discussions. The programme covers equities, exchange-traded funds, real estate investment trusts, bonds and sukuk, retirement planning, estate planning, digital investing, financial technology, sustainable investing, AI-related investment opportunities and green finance instruments.
Mr Christopher Lee, Chief Executive Officer and Director of AlphaInvest Holdings Pte. Ltd., the holding company of ShareInvestor Malaysia, said, “We are pleased to officially open INVEST Fair 2026 and welcome investors, industry professionals and members of the public to our largest edition to date. As financial markets and technology continue to evolve, we aim to give Malaysians trusted information, practical knowledge and direct access to credible experts so they can make better-informed financial decisions at every stage of their journey.”
