SEC enhances ESG Product Platform with extensive data coverage on SRI Fund to increase useful information for investors



Thursday 19 October 2023 | No. 189 / 2023


Bangkok, 19 October 2023 – The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has launched Phase 2 of the ESG Product Platform, adding more detailed information relating to each Sustainable and Responsible Investing Fund (SRI Fund) with an aim to provide interested investors with more comprehensive information needed for a well-informed investment decision making.


Following the initial launch earlier this year, the ESG Product Platform in its second phase features extensive coverage and details related to sustainability-themed financial products, especially SRI Funds and bonds.* Additional details for SRI Fund include investment policy, investment unit value, net asset value, dividend policy, fund fees and past performance. The information is available bilingually, in Thai and English, for the public’s convenience.

The SEC introduced the ESG Product Platform in January 2023 to make it convenient for market participants and the general public to access information related to SRI Funds easily and comprehensively. SRI Funds are mutual funds with investment policies that emphasize sustainable business practices in accordance with sustainability-related international standards such as UN SDGs.

Additionally, fact sheets and prospectuses of SRI Funds are downloadable from the ESG Product Platform for the convenience of interested individuals.  
 
The SEC has created the ESG Product Platform as an empowering tool for investors to access information on sustainable and responsible financial products and make confident decisions on their investments. This in turn helps to foster a more trustworthy, efficient, and inclusive capital market for all sectors. More information is available at https://sustainablefinance.sec.or.th/Fund  

 


Remark: *Sustainability Bonds consist of Green Bond, Social Bond, Sustainability Bond, and Sustainability-Linked Bond.
