The Securities and Exchange Commission of Sri Lanka (SEC) in association with the Matara Branch of the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) is conducting an Investor Day on 5 November at the Lalitha Hotel (Pvt) Ltd, Paburana, Matara from 9.30 a.m. to 1.30 p.m.

The SEC strongly believes that investors are the backbone of the capital market.

However, many investors do not possess adequate knowledge to take informed investment decisions. The aim of the Investor Day is to impart proper knowledge on capital market investments since the SEC believes that the investing public should have the basic knowledge to invest in the capital market.

The previous road show which was held in Colombo in association with all the market participants and Listed Companies was a resounding success with the participation of over 15,000 existing/potential investors and the SEC is confident that the Investor Day in Matara too will draw a significant crowd.

The CSE, Stock brokers, and Unit Trust Management companies will be participating at the Investor Day and will assist potential investors to open accounts to transact in shares as well as provide guidance on investing in the capital market.

The Investor Day will also feature prominent professionals from the securities industry, who will address the gathering on a wide spectrum of topics ranging from investing in the stock market, unit trusts and the debt market.

The lectures will be conducted in an easy to understand manner to enable first time investors to derive the full benefit of the Investor Day.
