The Securities and Exchange Commission of Sri Lanka (SEC) is conducting an educational exhibition and a roadshow titled “Investment Day 2011” at the Sri Lanka Exhibition and Convention Centre (SLECC) on October 22.
The Investment Day 2011 will comprise over 50 stalls from the Colombo Stock Exchange, stock-broking companies, Unit Trust Management companies and top listed companies. The roadshows held so far in Galle, Kandy, Kurunegala, Negombo and Ampara have been successful with the participation of approximately 1000 existing/potential investors at each event.
“The highlight of Investment Day 2011 is to showcase listed companies on the Colombo Stock Exchange and give potential investors the opportunity to get investment advice, discuss investment opportunities with Stock Broking companies, open CDS accounts to transact in shares, meet Unit Trust Companies and explore investment opportunities in Unit Trusts. Participants will get the chance to witness the re-enactment of the open outcry system,” a statement from the SEC said.
It would also feature prominent professionals from the securities industry, who will address the gathering on a wide spectrum of topics throughout the day, ranging from investing in the stock market, unit trusts and the debt market in all three languages. Entrance to the Investment Day 2011 is free. |
