The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) intend to ban investment management companies from raising funds on the SET and Market for Alternative Investment (MAI) to close regulatory loopholes and enhance investor protection.
The SEC is conducting a public hearing to collect opinions on the new regulations. The hearing ends on Aug 18.
Under the new guidelines, any investment management company, except for financial institutions, will be prohibited from offering and listing shares on the SET and MAI.
