The Thai bourse and seven leading securities companies are jointly offering the “Financial Freedom Academy Project” on-line program to fit to the lifestyle of the new generation, who prefer learning and investing on-line. Special prizes have also been set for lucky participants. Application is easy: just visit www.settrade.com/freedom from today until July 31, 2011.
The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) has continued to conduct studies and develop new approaches to constantly meet the demands of the new generation of online investor, SET President Charamporn Jotikasthira noted. As a result, the SET upgraded the www.settrade.com’s webpage, which went live in early April, and is using this website for the “Financial Freedom Academy Project ” program, which is targeted to bring in at least 52,000 new securities trading accounts, which will help increase the total value of online trades to 30% of all trades” within 2011.
“The new generation of investors tends to search for information and make their own studies using various websites, including social networks, through modern communication tools, such as iPads and iPhones and trade online by themselves. Thus, we are confident that the “Financial Freedom Academy Project ” program will attract a large number of new investors, as it will teach them to easily access investment information and conveniently trade”, said Mr. Charamporn.
This program will run for 3 months, from now through July 31, 2011. Participants will have the opportunity to receive information on various investment techniques. They will receive extensive basic knowledge, learn how to open trading accounts and how to execute trades, while being entitled to essential data that can help add confidence to online traders. All of this will be presented to participants within 7 days and will be an effective tool to add wealth and, ultimately, pave the way to their financial freedom.
In addition, participants who have completed the course will be entitled to one chance to win in a monthly lucky draw to win an iPad, worth THB16,900 (approx. USD530) each month throughout the three-month period. Those opening trading accounts with participating securities companies will receive 5 more chances, and those who have executed one trade order or more while the project is running will receive 5 additional chances to win the popular tablet.
