INVEST Fair 2026, Malaysia’s largest retail investment event, officially opened on 18 July 2026 at the Mid Valley Exhibition Centre in Kuala Lumpur, bringing together investing, financial education and financial technology. Organized by ShareInvestor Malaysia Sdn Bhd, the two-day event was officiated by Dato’ Fad’l Mohamed, Chief Executive Officer of Bursa Malaysia, who highlighted the importance of investing for long-term financial goals.
In his opening address, Dato’ Fad’l Mohamed noted that more than 325,000 new retail CDS accounts have been opened as at mid-June this year, reflecting growing participation in the market. “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.
