Al Rajhi Capital has revealed a year-long initiative in partnership with the Tadawul, the Saudi stock exchange, to promote investor education.
The “Invest Wisely” programme is a virtual platform where investors can learn about investing by experiencing trading in the stock market.
The firm says the scheme is designed to help Saudis become more comfortable with investment as the country develops its capital markets.
“As the kingdom continues its journey towards more institutionalised markets with increased foreign participation, well-educated and equipped investors with necessary tools and resources will be able to make more informed investment decisions,” said the firm, in a statement.
Al Rajhi Capital provides asset management, investment banking, brokerage and investment advisory services.
