Robstar Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Hi all, My Thai wife wishes to Invest in buying shares in companies listed on the FTSE. Can anyone recommend a Thai broker who can do this? I have looked and looked but it seems most only trade in the SEC, I would prefer a Thai broker attached to perhaps a recognized company? I want her to have her own share dealing account with access here in Thailand and funded from her Thai bank account. Any advice from those who are in the real know appreciated thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maewang99 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) this is impressive. it is a first, as they say on their web site... not even Maybank Kimeng does this.... I wish the PSE was there,... and it should be after having all of the AEC 2015 hoopla etc etc for so many years. Very surprising info.. thank you too. I guess.

Robstar Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) We just dont want the hassle of transferring to UK bank or broker then transferring any profits back etc, just want it done by a broker here in Thailand, funds transfered within Thailand and easy/quick access if/when required be it selling or buying more. We will contact them tomorrow hopefully and see, the charges are confusing so we need full clarity on that first but here's hoping it does what we need Edited July 24, 2016 by Robstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestro Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 ...I wish the PSE was there.,... and it should be after having all of the AEC 2015 hoopla etc etc for so many years... Perhaps there is not enough demand for it. Nothing to to with AEC 2015. It would have to be an agreement between a Thai stock broker and the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maewang99 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) some of us are talking about two entirely different things.... buying a stock in Thailand means hitting a bid or offer or placing a bid or offer in the queue with the same opportunity as anyone else... not having someone else do it for you and pay a big commission. this really gets to be a big deal if, as is usually the case for a retail investor, small caps that are thinly traded, including the big markets, are very expensive to acquire using a broker in this way... and most of us have no hope to investigate a big cap as they are too big to get your arms around.. no wonder folks lose money and write sour grapes. the chances of getting wrecked by insiders (a possible broad small cap worry someone will point out) is almost like getting hit by lightening yet the "risk" of buying securities indirectly based on some nonsense that someone else "researched" for you and then they do your order for you too isn't just a risk it's a good bet you will get screwed... the only gamble is how badly... not if. you don't even know how it got filled. there are some things where Thailand is actually better than at home... and on stock trading it's an order of magnitude difference. Thai small caps traded online with very reasonable commissions rates in a computer run market where everyone has an equal shot and your trade hits the market right off. amazing. the difference between the words "buying a stock" is so huge the two things have nothing to do with each other. it's beyond even apples and oranges...

This is not true, you just have to apply for it. Maybank Kim Eng Clients can trade by themselves using the internet-based KE World System or via Investment Consultant (IC). At the present, the clients can trade offshore up to 28 countries. The Internet-based KE World System which was developed by the Maybank Kim Eng Group. The KE World System allows submission of trading orders in Six main exchanges including HKEX, SGX, BURSA, NYSE, NASDAQ and NYSE ARCA. For the London Stock Exchange (LSE) currently orders have to be place via your IC. Edited July 26, 2016 by Estrada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
