Bursa Malaysia Berhad (“Bursa Malaysia” or “the Exchange”) will be organising its inaugural Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and Securities Borrowing and Lending (SBL) Conference on Sept 10.
The day-long conference, which carries the theme of “Enhancing Portfolio Returns Using ETF & SBL”, will bring together global thought leaders in ETFs and SBL to Malaysia to share insights into global trends and best practices. The conference is envisaged to increase awareness of ETFs as a portfolio-enhancing tool amongst investors, as well as highlight the importance of SBL in developing the marketplace in the country.
Bursa Malaysia Berhad Chief Executive Officer Dato’ Tajuddin Atan said, “Bursa Malaysia working to bring the platform/experts here to shed light on what’s happening globally in the more developed markets, what’s popular, what’s the best performing product (ETF) and how is SBL used to improve market liquidity.
“We want to be a listing and investment destination for ETFs. We would like to encourage the participation of issuers both local and foreign and possibly look for ways to partner or collaborate in the development of quality and diverse products. This could also encourage foreign partners to work with local investment banks and brokers to market their products in Malaysia,” he added.
The conference will be held at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Kuala Lumpur and is open to all capital market representatives. The event will feature presentations by global industry experts on ETFs and SBL as well as panel discussions which will bring together regional exchanges and major players in both ETFs and SBL.
The conference is a Securities Industry Development Centre (“SIDC”) CPE approved programme and attendees will receive 10 CPE points.
