The Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) seeks to grow Cebu’s domestic investor base with a roadshow that brings together experts to talk about Philippine economic prospects and the outlook for the capital markets.
The PSE’s “Capital Markets Investment Conference” will be held at the Cebu Marriott Hotel on May 16.
“The PSE has had several market education projects in the Visayas to address the growing interest in the stock market in the region. We hope that the investment conference that the exchange is organizing will further boost interest and confidence in the equities market,” PSE chief operating officer Roel Refran said in a press statement.
The investment conference will have a plenary session in the morning which will feature speakers from the government, brokerage houses and the PSE, among others.
Breakout sessions will be conducted in the afternoon with topics such as the basics of stock market investing, how to raise capital in the stock market, investing in Shariah-compliant securities, online trading, how to invest in unit investment trust funds, trading strategies, how to invest in exchange traded funds and enhancing investor safeguards.
Among the PSE’s investor education initiatives in the Visayas are regular stock market orientation for retail investor and companies, as well as briefing on new PSE products and services.
The PSE also teamed up with University of San Carlos Cebu to offer the Certified Securities Specialist Course.
Since the start of the year, the main-share Philippine Stock Exchange has gained by about 13 percent. Average value turnover in 2013 amounted to P10.52 billion, which has slowed down this year.
By growing the retail market, the PSE seeks to deepen the local capital market.
For more information on the investment conference, interested parties can send an e-mail marketeducation@pse.com.ph or call the PSE’s Cebu office at +63(32) 266-3464. Doris C. Dumlao
