On this episode of Raise Your Game, we explore an initiative that's hoping to shape the future of Malaysia's capital markets - investED.



The Malaysian capital market is currently facing significant talent challenges. These challenges not only impact the growth and competitiveness of the market but also raise questions about how we're nurturing the next generation of financial experts.



To address these concerns, the Securities Commission Malaysia has introduced the investED - NextGen Capital Market Talent initiative - aiming to fortify the industry with skilled and diverse talents. Joining us for this conversation is Tengku Zarina, the CEO of the Securities Industry Development Corporation (SIDC), the training and development arm of the Securities Commission. 



We’ll delve into the depths of the investED programme, its objectives, its approach to talent development, and how it hopes to reshape the industry. From discussing the current talent challenges in the Malaysian capital market and the steps the Securities Commission is taking, to the role of a diverse talent pool in ensuring market resilience, we get into all of it.
