Investor education is one of the most critical areas, which demands great attention and response from all major participants in the capital market.

The Exchange believes that empowerment facilitates wealth creation and empowerment comes from adequate knowledge."

    The Exchange seeks to encourage the investors to play an active role in the capital market by channelising savings of investors towards the capital formation. Through our process of investor education, investors can make a better judgement by investing wisely.
