The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), jointly with 24 leading securities firms, will hold its “SET-TFEX Online Investor Fair 2014” on June 26-29 in Bangkok, under the theme “1st click to sustainable investment: stocks, derivatives and mutual funds.” Participants will be updated with new technology, making investment simple and convenient, with investment tips from 15 insightful seminars by investment gurus.
SET President Kesara Manchusree said that this third annual event would reinforce SET’s aim to further promote online investment to expand investment opportunities. Presently, online investors accounted for 648,100, or 67 percent of the total retail investors of 964,523 (data as of end-May). In 2013, the internet trading value of retail investors grew significantly to THB 7.7 trillion, up 77 percent from THB 4.4 trillion a year earlier, as trading via internet has enabled investors to trade quickly and conveniently, while accessing information and analysis efficiently.
“Thanks to innovation, people’s lifestyle has changed dramatically, similar to trading technology and services developed continuously in SET and among brokers. As such, SET has joined hands with 24 Thai leading brokers to organize an investors’ fair to give online investment updates and demonstrate new applications and programs for online trading. Throughout the four-day event, the fair will offer intensive and insightful seminars on economy and investment, providing investment techniques and strategy outlook for the second half of this year. It is expected to attract more than 5,000 participants,” Kesara added.
This 3rd online investor fair is organized from June 26 – 29, from 10.30 a.m. – 8.00 p.m. at Central World’s Eden plaza & Central court.
