The Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE), in partnership with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Sri Lanka (SEC), is set to conduct investor forums in Monaragala and Batticaloa this week. This initiative aims to enhance investor engagement across the country, following a series of successful events held in Colombo earlier this month.
The forum in Monaragala will take place on July 16 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Silanrich Hotel, while the Batticaloa event is scheduled for July 18 from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the FG Golden River Hotel. The Monaragala session will be conducted in Sinhala, and the Batticaloa session in Tamil. Both forums are complimentary and welcome anyone interested in exploring investment opportunities in the stock market or through Unit Trusts.
Attendees will have the opportunity to meet with representatives from Stock Broker Firms and Unit Trusts prior to the forums, enabling them to open investment accounts on-site. The first 200 participants who register for an account during the events will receive an investment coupon provided by the SEC and CSE.
