• New Fund Insights: The ESG Product Platform now includes Sustainable and Responsible Investing (SRI) fund details, categorized by tax-benefit products like RMF, SSF, and Thai ESG Funds.
• Timely Data: Daily updates ensure investors access accurate information on fund assets under management, fund counts, and participating asset managers.
• Future Expansion: Plans to categorize Thai ESG Funds targeting stocks with corporate value-up plans aim to deepen market transparency and investor confidence.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has strengthened its ESG Product Platform by incorporating critical details about Sustainable and Responsible Investing (SRI) Funds, enhancing access to sustainability-themed financial products. This move supports investors in making informed decisions about sustainable investments.

“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,” said SEC Secretary-General Pornanong Budsaratragoon.

The recent update adds details on SRI Funds, categorized under tax-benefit products like Retirement Mutual Funds (RMF), Super Savings Funds (SSF), and Thai ESG Funds. Key metrics such as Assets Under Management (AUM), fund counts, and asset management company participation are now readily available. To maintain relevance and accuracy, the platform updates this information daily.

In addition to these improvements, the SEC plans to expand the platform further by categorizing Thai ESG Funds that invest in listed companies disclosing corporate value-up plans. “This aims to facilitate investors interested in Thai ESG Funds with a focus on such stocks,” added Budsaratragoon. This initiative aligns with the SEC’s broader goal to encourage governance enhancements among listed companies while expanding the scope of eligible assets for Thai ESG Funds.

The SEC envisions the ESG Product Platform as a pivotal tool for building investor confidence by offering reliable, transparent, and comprehensive data on sustainability-focused financial products.
