"Both ASCO and the SET would like to deny the news on the marketing commission being cut from 27.5% to 10%. This issue might be brought up by people intending to cause some confusion. Currently some securities companies may pay a fixed salary rate plus mid-year and year-end bonuses, whilst some others pay an amount calculated from their clients' monthly trading charges.
"These two systems both have their advantages and disadvantages. Any improvements or adjustments of the details would depend upon each company's thorough consideration. We therefore deny any rumors, no matter from what media, on the decreasing of the marketing commission payment to 10%. The rumor is totally untrue and was initiated by neither the SET nor ASCO," Mr. Kittiratt said.
