The SEC of Thailand has recently made a significant update to its ESG Product Platform by incorporating detailed information on SRI Funds.
According to ESG News, this enhancement aims to facilitate access to sustainability-themed financial products, aiding investors in making informed decisions that align with their sustainability goals.
Launched in January 2023, the ESG Product Platform reflects the SEC’s dedication to continuous improvement and transparency in the financial sector. According to SEC Secretary-General Pornanong Budsaratragoon, “The SEC launched the ESG Product Platform in January 2023, demonstrating our commitment to continuous development. The goal is to ensure that capital market participants and the public can easily access information on sustainability-themed financial products from reliable sources.” This initiative underscores the SEC’s role in fostering a robust ecosystem for sustainable investment within Thailand.
The recent update to the platform enriches it with critical data on SRI Funds, which include tax-benefit products like Retirement Mutual Funds (RMF), Super Savings Funds (SSF), and Thai ESG Funds. The platform now features key metrics such as Assets Under Management (AUM), the number of funds, and the extent of asset management company participation, all updated daily to ensure timeliness and accuracy. Furthermore, plans are underway to categorize Thai ESG Funds that invest in listed companies engaged in disclosing corporate value-up plans. Budsaratragoon added, “This aims to facilitate investors interested in Thai ESG Funds with a focus on such stocks,” highlighting the SEC’s strategy to encourage governance enhancements among listed companies and to broaden the scope of eligible assets for Thai ESG Funds.
Overall, the SEC envisions its ESG Product Platform as a crucial tool for building investor confidence by providing reliable, transparent, and comprehensive data on sustainability-focused financial products. This initiative not only supports informed decision-making but also promotes the growth of sustainable investing in Thailand.
