Well, I did post the same topic before, but maybe rephrasing itwill attract people who would know more.

So, I'd like to invest money in the Thai SET, I realize the banks do not handle it. Should I approach a broker? and if so, could anybody direct me to one?

Thanks in advance.

If you're starting out and want Thai equities exposure it could be a good move to build a core holding via unit trusts or mutual funds. These you can purchase thru a bank or direct thru a fund manager. Aberdeen Growth is my favourite fund which I've held since 1998. I purchased initially direct from Abderdeen then later thru my bank. It's up over 800% in that period since I bought it, or annualised over 20%. I doubt I would have consistently outperformed that with my own stock picking on Thai stocks.

If you pay tax in Thailand they also do a similar fund Aberdeen Long Term Equity Fund - similar but with a tax wrapper which is a signficant advantage over individual shares

For purchasing individual shares I use KGI as a broker for Thai equities.

I'd suggest Maybank Kim Eng Securities, which is the largest brokerage in Thailand

Easy to open an acc't; online trading; excellent stock info on user website

I use SCB securities - they provide very good stock research including that produced by other companies on a daily basis. Also a daily email listing the stocks trades of major company directors in their own companies.
