KUALA LUMPUR – The Malaysian Financial Planning Council (MFPC) will hold the Malaysian Financial Planning Day 2024 on October 12 (Saturday) at the Securities Commission Malaysia, from 8am to 5pm.
This annual event, jointly organised by Malaysia’s premier financial planning associations – MFPC, FPAM, AFA and MFPAA – will offer comprehensive insights into the Financial Planning Industry in Malaysia.
Attended by guest of honour Datuk Mohammad Faiz Azmi, the Securities Commission chairman, the focus of this year’s event will be on financial learning for youth.
Seven seasoned speakers will cover sessions that will include what potential financial planners need to know about the profession, what opportunities it offers, how to navigate a financial planning career from college to the corporate world, and how artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionising the profession.
A roundtable discussion on the nuts and bolts of a financial planning career will help financial planning aspirants decide whether this is a suitable profession for them.
Malaysian Financial Planning Day, now in its second edition, is held annually as one of MFPC’s programmes to match potential job seekers with potential employers and is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the financial planning industry, including its job possibilities, through interactive learning and networking sessions.
Individual development sessions that focus on the real-life experiences of professionals and industry experts are aimed at promoting financial planning for young adults.
Besides sessions on the financial planning industry, career prospects in the industry, and its future, participants will also be able to meet 20 financial planning firms licensed by the Securities Commission, for additional information. Admission is free and lucky draw prizes are up for grabs.
