The Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc.

The event will feature a wide range of today’s most relevant topics from the latest product offerings of the PSE, tips on investing in a volatile market, to the proposed rules on initial coin offerings of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Resource persons for the talks will come from the PSE, SEC, and the Cebu roadshow partners of the Exchange namely Abacus Securities Corporation, COL Financial Group, Eagle Equities, Inc., First Metro Securities Brokerage Corporation, and Unicapital Securities, Inc. These stockbrokerage firms and three other trading participants – AB Capital Securities, Inc., BPI Securities Corporation, and VC Securities Corporation – will also be part of a broker expo which will enable the attendees to open stock market accounts at the event venue. “The PSE wants to grow the investor base in Visayas through its investment literacy programs. We hope to widen retail investor participation in the stock market and be able to provide our kababayans with the necessary awareness and understanding of stock market investing so they will not fall prey to investment scams and frauds,” said PSE President and CEO Ramon S. Monzon.
