New initiatives include a one-on-one investment talkshow with expert investors and an "Investment A-Z" education series.

More than 20,000 investors and exhibitors are expected to attend the popular investment fair, which will be held in both Singapore and Malaysia on Aug 2 and 3 from 10am to 7pm. The fair is organised by ShareInvestor, a subsidiary of media group Singapore Press Holdings.

In Singapore, the fair - now it its eighth year - will be at the Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre, Level 4, Exhibition Halls 401 and 402.

Malaysian investors can attend the seventh Malaysian edition of the fair in Kuala Lumpur at the Mid Valley Exhibition Centre, Level 3.
