The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) and ten commercial banks create synergy in a phenomenal event, under the campaign “Easy Investing @ Banks,” aiming to promote wealth management and financial services at bank branches during May 21-24 at Future Park Rangsit department store, Pathumthani province, the northern part of Bangkok.
SET Executive Vice President Santi Kiranand said that under a SET’s key strategic plan targeting at investment access across the board for Thai people nationwide, the Thai bourse’s domestic roadshows this year would highlight very convenient investment access by uniting with banks and their brokerage subsidiaries to attract the unmet demand among residents in the suburbs of Bangkok, particularly potential investors and novice investors, so they could reach investment channel at fingertips via bank branches and eventually open securities accounts more conveniently.
“The campaign is part of a joint project, called “Banker to Broker,” of SET and ten commercial banks jointly organized for four years, with proven success by an increasing number of new trading accounts opening via bank branches of 128,026 accounts, in which half of the figure was added in 2014, or 56,553 accounts. Meanwhile, opening securities accounts via commercial banks in department stores tends to increase at a more rapid speed, reflecting people’s new modern lifestyle. Thus, the campaign has been created and launched at Future Park Rangsit, a suburban mall in a highly populated area to attract entrepreneurs, working people, government officials and students. Continually, the fair will be held in the southern part of Bangkok at The Mall Bangkae department store in August. We hope that the fair will help draw interest from potential investors in the suburban areas of Bangkok to access investment channel conveniently,” added Santi.
The event will provide advices for investment planning and securities account opening services, giving stock selection techniques, helping investors to find the right investment catering to individual needs, and organizing workshops.
