Anunual Report 2015

2015 was recorded as another year of recognition in international front. Following the partnership with UN Sustainable Stock Exchanges

(UN SSE) Initiative, SET, jointly with key United Nations agencies, organized “SSE Regional Dialogue: South East Asia”, the first of its kind

in Asia, confirming the regional leadership role in sustainability. Furthermore, 13 Thai listed companies were selected to be included in Dow

Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI), the largest number in ASEAN, while Thai listed companies scored 84 percent of ASEAN CG Scorecard,

top performance in the region for four consecutive years. In addition, SET also launched “Thailand Sustainability Investment” list, featuring

51 listed companies operating on the sustainable path. The list has been designed to showcase successful models for listed companies and

other business sectors to follow by incorporating all business dimensions covering environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG),

in their operation to strengthen economic foundation and the Thai society in the long run.

At SET, we recognize the changing economic landscape of today and tomorrow, with more focus on SMEs, start-ups, and social

enterprises as they are among solid bases for the next phase of the country’s economic growth. SET continuously equipped them with

knowledge and tools, keeping them well-prepared, while encouraging them to utilize the capital market to raise fund, create opportunities

and strengthen their businesses.

Crafting quality investor is the area SET has committed to excel. In 2015, SET further expanded quality investor base, educating

personal financial planning and investment among investors and the general public through partnership with capital market alliances to

organize activities such as roadshows in more provinces, “Banker-to-Broker” campaign, “Your 1

Stock” events, and many more nationwide.

Furthermore, SET created specific activities aiming at enabling people to manage their finances properly and get ready to step into an

aging society with clear objectives and scenarios.

To optimize the potential of digital economy via digital technology on the way to a digital exchange, SET has incorporated technology

and innovation to improve the work operations and services, particularly the information dissemination so that investors can get updated

information. Starting from 2015, all data materials from the SET group’s websites have been integrated and available on one single site via

including the SET Application.

In line with the advanced global practice, in 2015 Thailand Clearing House Co., Ltd., a SET subsidiary, upgraded its operation

according to Principles for Financial Market Infrastructures (PFMI), a vital part to support the Thai capital market‘s long-term operation,

SET has also revised the market surveillance regulations by using the trading alert list and cash balance guidelines for investors’ effective

investment decision-making.

In developing more products for investors, in 2015, SET has made tremendous progress in merging Thailand Futures Exchange PCL

(TFEX) and the Agricultural Futures Trading Commission (AFET) with cooperation from related public and private organizations. The merger

initiative will ensure more efficiency and minimize trading cost for investors, marking another milestone of TFEX in offering a fully integrated

trading service to investors.

The continuing achievements are building strong foundation for SET, also taken the ESG aspects as key principles in laying down and

implementing its green policy framework, paving way for sustainable growth for this 5

decade and beyond.

On behalf of SET, may I express my sincerest appreciation to the management and each and every one of the staff for the dedication

and support, including all the stakeholders who are vital in making all the missions and activities successful, for the benefit of the Thai

capital market, as well as the country’s economic and social growth towards sustainability.
