Over the past few years, we’ve seen a surge in retail investors using apps, data dashboards and now AI-driven tools to make decisions that once belonged mainly to analysts and full-time traders. At the same time, younger Malaysians are moving beyond the traditional blue-chip counters that previous generations favoured, and are beginning to explore new themes like clean energy, technology indices and AI-linked equities.

Events like Moofest, which position themselves as platforms to explore the future of wealth and investor education, reflect this shift. The conversation is no longer just about what to buy, but how decisions are being made in a tech-driven landscape and whether AI is helping Malaysians invest smarter or simply trade faster.

Today, we speak with Indy Lau, COO of Moomoo Malaysia, to explore how AI is influencing investor behaviour, what the new Malaysian investor looks like, and how platforms like Moomoo are navigating that shift.
