Bangkok, 8 September 2023 – The Securities and Exchange Commission of Thailand (SEC) has launched a new microsite called "Mutual Funds Insight" to serve as a platform for disseminating knowledge and providing services related to mutual funds for investors and interesting public.

          (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.
