Welcome

Welcome to the Asia Forum for Investor Education!

Investor education is becoming ever more important to build investor confidence in today’s environment where financial innovation is bringing about an ongoing stream of new products and services. It is also essential to promote effective asset management with intensifying uncertainties in the global financial markets, shifting paradigms offor asset management, and increasing life expectancy.

A rigorous, well-organized financial education system enables consumers and investors to make informed decisions about financial products and investments and take control of their financial future.

Established in February 2010 as a regional body of the International Forum for Investor Education (IFIE) – an international alliance of private and public sector providers of investor education, the Asia Forum for Investor Education (AFIE) aims to improve investor education in the Asia-Pacific region through enhanced international cooperation and information exchange.

The AFIE is committed ensuring a sound investment culture with strong investor protection is instilled throughout the region by promoting investor education and the development of the region’s capital markets. To this end, the AFIE will serve as a channel for discussion on a wide range of investor education topics and issues facing the region’s financial markets.

This website is designed to inform you of the recent trends and developments in investor education as well as the activities of the AFIE. I hope you will find the information here useful, and I would like to ask for your continued support in the future.
