LOLC Securities Ltd. (LOSEC), the stockbroking company of the diversified conglomerate – the LOLC Group, recently conducted a workshop on Capital Market and Mobile App Awareness. The workshop was organised in collaboration with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Sri Lanka (SEC) and the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE), with the objective of creating awareness on capital market and online trading through the new mobile app. The program was held recently at the Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology (SLIIT) in Malabe.
About 300 undergraduates took part in the Capital Market and Mobile App Awareness Workshop which was held with the participation of senior officials and representatives from LOLC Securities, the SEC and the CSE. The Workshop covered a range of key topics including the benefits of investing in Capital Market instruments, how to make use of Online Trading facilities in the Capital Market as well as the regulatory aspects relevant to the Capital Market of Sri Lanka.
Commenting about the workshop, LOLC Securities Ltd. Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer Sriyan Gurusinghe said, “This joint workshop is a timely initiative. In an age when technology is developing rapidly with constant innovation, we need to create awareness that investors can now manage their investments with great ease, anytime and from anywhere. This Mobile Trading App offers live streaming prices, charts, latest news on stock trading and much more.”
