Felita expressed her gratitude to the Indonesia Stock Exchange for working with the KSE Foundation and facilitating scholarship recipient students to get to know the capital market and be introduced to leaders at the Indonesia Stock Exchange, so Felita hopes that the cooperation between the IDX and KSE will continue in the future.

After that, the second speech was delivered by Sunandar as Director of Information Technology and Risk Management of PT Bursa Efek Indonesia. Sunandar conveyed a little about PT Bursa Efek Indonesia as the only stock exchange company in Indonesia and the importance of knowing the capital market from an early age. Sunandar said that only about 49% of Indonesian people have been educated through Financial Litteracy so that only half of Indonesian people already understand how to manage good and quality finances in order to achieve prosperous economic conditions. So that people are easily tempted by illegal investments.

After that, the series of events continued with the symbolisation given by PT Bursa Efek Indonesia represented by Sunandar to Kristianus Risko Lendang as a representative of BEI scholarship recipients from Nusa Cendana University.

The series of activities continued with the delivery of material on Company Profile by Kautsar Primadi Nurahmad as Corporate Secretary of PT Bursa Efek Indonesia. Kautsar conveyed the profile of PT Bursa Efek Indonesia to the vision and mission of the company. First of all, Kautsar said that the capital market can be analogised as a mall, where we can shop and sell various shares in the available market. PT Bursa Efek Indonesia is also the only stock exchange company in accordance with Law No.9 of 2016, of course under the supervision of OJK as a supervisory institution.

In addition, PT BEI also has 8 subsidiaries that are managed in various fields, ranging from finance, education, technology and information to insurance. PT BEI also has 92 securities companies spread throughout Indonesia to have 13.72 million stock and mutual fund investors. Of course, this number is very small if you look at the current population of Indonesian society, only about 4-5% of people who only understand investment. So that prevention about finance can be prevented through education such as the seminar that was being held yesterday afternoon. The material session was followed by a question and answer session between Mr Kausar and the participants.

After the material session one was completed, the event continued with the delivery of material two by Teja Amanda Putra as Market Development Analyst PT Bursa Efek Indonesia. The material presented by Teja was about "Introduction to the Capital Market".

Teja said that z-generation children need to do budgeting, this is because the lifestyle of young people is very high, to the point of being complacent with online loans and even illegal loans. Therefore, young people need to manage their finances and not get carried away with a high lifestyle with modest income. One way to avoid unstable finances is to manage through investment. Investments can be in the form of bonds, stocks, and mutual funds. These three investments also need to be equipped with the 3Ps, namely Understand, Have and Monitor. Leading investors should not fall into fraudulent investments, so when starting an investment it needs to be Legal and Logical, because there is no guarantee that the investment will be 100% profitable. What is certain is that we just start first then the knowledge about this investment will slowly follow.

The questions raised by the participants formed an interesting discussion about the capital market with Teja.
