INVESTORY – Inspire to Invest
Promoting Social
Impact Investment
SET promotes social impact investment to
create social and environmental benefits, while
reducing negative impact. One form of social
impact investment is to contribute resources
(either monetary or not) to support social
entrepreneurs or social enterprises.
Promoting social impact investment is one way
to strengthen civil society to grow sustainably,
by linking listed companies with social
enterprises.
SET has recently established an investment learning
museum,
“INVESTORY”
to be a learning center for youth
and the public, promoting financial discipline and the capability
to create investment plans. The museum introduces its
content in a
“discovery museum”
format. The stories are
told using characters and modern technology such as
multimedia simulation and hand-on media. Visitors can
experience virtual investment games and see how effective
their personal financial plans are. INVESTORY inspires
visitors to save and invest while creating positive
attitudes towards investing for retirement.
INVESTORY also presents the development of SET, recalling
the history of the Thai capital market, showing that SET
has come a long way. Its exhibits include stock trading
tools from the past such as telephones and binoculars.
The museum is suitable for all individuals: youths, senior
citizens, those with disabilities, etc. because of its ‘universal
architectural design’.
