“The KSPM of UMY has been established since 2002 and it aims to invite people to invest stock. We may not state anti-foreigners but we do not make an investment for our country. We let foreigners do it,” declared Chief of the KSPM of UMY Afdal Syafe’i in a discussion at Galeri Investasi BEI of Faculty of Economics and Business of UMY on Monday (21/1).

A target of the stock investment campaign is youth who are millennials. Capital markets in a technology field have rapidly developed that all people easily do online stock transaction.
