Waratchya
Srimachand, SEC Deputy Secretary-General, stated “The SEC aims to support investors in
achieving financial well-being, enhancing their knowledge and understanding,
and providing easy access to investment-related information. To fulfill this
mission, the SEC developed the "Mutual Funds Insight"
microsite to serve as a center of knowledge, services, and tools related to
mutual fund planning and investment. In this regard, the SEC welcomes investors
and related parties to utilize information and services via this platform, such
as assessment of the adequacy or the need of savings, investment allocation, service
providers, dollar cost averaging (“DCA”) investment services, and mutual fund
comparison by using the SEC Fund Check tool.
The "Mutual
Funds Insight" microsite consists of four key
sections :
(1) Investment planning: Proving
information on tools to assist investors to understand themselves better and
plan their investments more effectively, such as tools for investment
allocation, tax deduction calculation, and post-retirement financial adequacy calculation;
(2) Mutual fund information: Helping investors
to understand various types of mutual funds and providing the SEC Fund Check
tool, which was developed by the SEC, to enable the public to compare and
choose suitable funds for their investments;
(3) Service providers: Providing information
on DCA service providers and portfolio wealth advisors;
(4) Updates on mutual fund-related activities:
Providing information on trainings and seminars, and new mutual funds.
Additionally, investors can keep updates on information and the list
of business operators participating in the "Number 5 Savings” Project,"
a joint initiative by the SEC and the mutual fund industry launched on
September 5, 2023 with the aim at boosting the expansion of mutual fund investor
base through the increase of investment knowledge and promoting mutual funds as
an attractive savings option at the "Mutual Funds Insight"
microsite. For further details on mutual funds, please visit at https://insight-fund.sec.or.th/.
