The objective of the seminar is to introduce participants to a basic but practical approach of investing in capital market products.
The seminar is structured to cater to the needs of all members of the public - investors-to-be, new investors and experienced investors. The seminar will begin with the fundamentals covering, among others, the types of capital market products available; the role of stockbrokers; and basic financial market concepts.
From the fundamentals, the seminar will progress to other practical topics such as:
- Setting long-term and short-term investment goals;
- Developing an investment strategy;
- Monitoring investments; and
- Avoiding common investment pitfalls.
In addition, participants of the seminar will be introduced to the Wise Investor, which is an Internet-based stock market simulated game created by the SIDC. The game is accessible free-of-charge and was designed to be a fun way for investors to learn about the fundamentals of trading in shares, bonds and stock index futures.
