SEC updated ESG Product Platform with key information on SRI Funds to promote sustainable investments. Platform provides easy access to accurate and up-to-date information for investors and the public.
Bangkok, 21 January 2025 – The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has updated the ESG Product Platform, adding key information on Sustainable and Responsible Investing Fund (SRI Fund) to the central hub for sustainability-themed financial products. This continuing effort to promote sustainable investment makes it easier for capital market participants and the public to access accurate, comprehensive and up-to-date information more conveniently.
SEC Secretary-General Pornanong Budsaratragoon said: “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 update introduces key information on SRI Funds, categorized by tax-benefit products such as Retirement Mutual Fund (RMF), Super Savings Fund (SSF) and Thai ESG Fund. It also includes essential details like Assets Under Management (AUM), the number of funds, and the number of asset management companies offering these funds. Additionally, the database is updated at the end of day to ensure accuracy and timeliness.
“In the next phase of developing the ESG Product Platform, the SEC plans to categorize information on Thai ESG Funds that invest in stocks of listed companies that disclose their corporate value-up plans. This aims to facilitate investors interested in Thai ESG Funds with a focus on such stocks. This follows the SEC’s expansion of the scope of eligible assets for Thai ESG Funds, allowing investments in stocks of listed companies with corporate value up plans. The initiative seeks to encourage listed companies to enhance their governance standards,” added SEC Secretary-General.
The SEC aims for the ESG Product Platform to serve as a tool that enables investors to access information on sustainability-themed financial products and make investment decisions with confidence. This initiative enhances the credibility and efficiency of the capital market while ensuring accessibility for all sectors.
