Jakarta – The National Hero’s Day, which commemorated every 10th of November, holds the right moment to commemorate the heroes who have fought for the country’s independence. To honor the heroes, we can contribute with the expertise we have. In the capital market industry, millennial investors can become heroes of the capital market by becoming smart and active investors.

Susy Meilina, the President Director of MNC Sekuritas, explained that MNC Sekuritas realizes that Indonesia’s future is in the younger generation’s hands, including young investors.
