The workshop is part of the SIDC Capital Market Workshop Series which aims to provide investors with a fundamental understanding of the Malaysian capital market. Aside from general investors, the workshop would also be beneficial to candidates sitting for the Trainee Dealers' Representatives examinations.

The workshop will be facilitated by experienced speakers who will cover a broad range of topics. Among others, there will be an introduction to the regulatory structure governing the equities market as well as an overview of the various securities offences.

Participants will also be introduced to various aspects of the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (KLSE) such as its listing requirements, clearing and settlement systems as well as trading operations.

There will also be a session on the basics of financial statement analysis and theories of asset valuation.

A similar workshop will be organised in August 2002. The registration fee for the three-day workshop is RM400. Interested parties may call Encik Noor Hadi Ali at tel: (03)-6204 8660, fax: (03)-6201 8008 or email: [email protected].
