INVEST Fair 2026, Malaysia’s largest retail investment fair, successfully concluded after attracting more than 15,000 visitors over two days at Mid Valley Exhibition Centre, Kuala Lumpur. Held on 18–19 July 2026, the event was organized by ShareInvestor Malaysia Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of AlphaInvest Holdings Pte. Ltd., and brought together investors, financial institutions, and industry experts to explore developments in investing, finance, and financial technology.
Officiating the event, Dato’ Fad’l Mohamed, Chief Executive Officer of Bursa Malaysia, highlighted the importance of investing for long-term wealth growth. He noted that more than 325,000 new retail CDS accounts were opened as at mid-June this year, reflecting growing participation in the capital market. “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,” he said.
This year’s edition featured more than 100 speakers and 40 exhibitors, across 70 hours of panel discussions and talks covering capital markets, equities, wealth management, personal finance, and financial technology. Sessions were conducted in English, Bahasa Malaysia, and Mandarin, making investment education accessible to a diverse audience. Themed “Money. Finance. Technology.”, the fair 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. That is what INVEST Fair is designed to support.”
A highlight of the event 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 addressed Bursa Malaysia’s role in strengthening the capital market ecosystem through the Capital Market Masterplan 2026-2030. Ms Tan noted, “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 attractions this year included Duit Fest, focusing on personal finance; the Career Partner Area for financial services job opportunities; interactive challenges like the Golden Ball Pit Challenge and Kick & Win Challenge; and the Pickleball Bull League, adding a lifestyle element. Visitors also participated in lucky draws with cash prizes and rewards worth up to RM100,000.
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.
