New regulatory measures require expanded investment reporting to improve investor insight and support Thailand’s long-term financial planning landscape
Thailand’s financial regulators have moved to strengthen investment reporting standards by mandating enhanced portfolio disclosures designed to support long-term financial planning for investors and institutions.
The new framework, being advanced by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Thailand (SEC), will require greater transparency from asset managers and listed companies participating in key market programs, ensuring detailed, ongoing reporting on portfolio composition, risk metrics and performance objectives that align with strategic planning horizons.
This step reflects a broader effort to align Thailand’s capital markets with global best practices on transparency and investor accountability, particularly in the context of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)-oriented investment products and long-term savings vehicles.
Under the forthcoming regime, asset managers will be expected to furnish data that enables more precise assessment of long-term portfolio outcomes and risk exposures, supporting both institutional and individual investors as they navigate evolving market conditions and strategic objectives.
The enhanced reporting requirements are also intended to deepen investor confidence and facilitate more informed decision-making by connecting portfolio performance more closely with long-term financial goals.
The new measures are scheduled to come into force in stages over the coming months, with detailed implementation guidance to be issued by the SEC and related authorities to assist market participants in meeting the expanded reporting obligations.
The policy aims to strengthen Thailand’s financial ecosystem by embedding transparency and forward-looking disclosure into the investment process, thereby supporting both capital market depth and sustainable financial planning across the economy.
