INVEST Fair 2026, Malaysia’s largest retail investment event, has officially opened on 18 July 2026 at the Mid Valley Exhibition Centre in Kuala Lumpur, bringing investing, financial education and financial technology together under one roof.

Organised by ShareInvestor Malaysia Sdn Bhd, the two-day event was officially opened by Dato’ Fad’l Mohamed, Chief Executive Officer of Bursa Malaysia, who returned as the 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. As participation grows, investors need access to trusted information, practical knowledge and the confidence to navigate the 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.”

Themed “Money. Finance. Technology.”, INVEST Fair 2026 spans Halls 1, 2 and 3 of the Mid Valley Exhibition Centre and is expected to welcome approximately 20,000 visitors on 18 and 19 July 2026.
