The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) will launch a new financial and investment information center, or SET Investment Center (SET IC), in Ubon Ratchathani University, providing information to students, investors, securities professionals, and the general public in Ubon Ratchathani and its neighboring provinces.
SET President Charamporn Jotikasthira said that expanding financial and investment literacy nationwide is one of SET key missions. SET has continuously placed importance on enhancing the personal financial management and investment expertise of investors, savers, and the general public countrywide, enabling them to learn and access information conveniently, and quickly. A vital key to the success of this mission is to have a strong university network to distribute information throughout the region. Thus, SET has cooperated with the Faculty of Management Science, Ubon Ratchathani University to open a SET IC from November 25.
Pattera Dilokrungthirapop, Chairperson of the Association of Thai Securities Companies (ASCO) said that the SET IC would also enable securities officers in provincial branches to serve investors more effectively, because the officers could learn via the SET IC's online media, training, and other channels. In addition, ASCO would help fund the Young Investor Club of the Faculty of Management Science, Ubon Ratchathani University. This assistance would enable students to study investment, paving the way for them to be prudent investors or professionals in the securities business.
A SET IC follows the concept "Your Investment Center: One You Can Reach," offering a modern and comprehensive learning source equipped with a variety of learning media from SET, including books, journals, and other media. The center provides comprehensive information online, including SETSMART for information on listed companies and stock prices, live broadcasts for Opportunity Day activities, Aspen and Click2win programs, and e-learning on www.tsi-thailand.org. The total value of each SET IC is THB4.5 million.
Currently, there are six SET ICs in universities nationwide, which are Chiang Mai, Khon Kaen, Naresuan, Suratthaini Rajabhat, and Ubon Ratchathaini Universities; and Prince of Songkla University -Hat Yai campus. SET will next launch a SET IC at Kasetsart University-Si Racha campus. For more information, please visit www.tsi-thailand.org/SETIC
