Foreign investors are expected to plough more money into the Thai stock market this year, encouraged by the country’s broader economic rebound and continued growth in exports and tourist arrivals, complemented by a stable political situation.
SBI Thai Online Securities (SBITO), a young but dynamically growing online stockbroker, is becoming the preferred partner of retail and institutional investors who see brighter prospects in the local stock market, especially after the stock index reached an all-time high in early January.
Bangkok-based SBITO helps clients make informed investment decisions and trade with speed, convenience and superior customer service.
“Our target market comprises next-generation traders who see online stock trading as a 21st-century way of trading stocks and optimising the opportunities for both short-term and long-term gain,” says Yukiko Roberts, CEO and authorised director of SBITO. “We focus on innovative-minded investors and active traders who are comfortable with technology. We also meet the high expectations of institutional investors who have a more global portfolio.”
SBITO, the first pure-play online securities company in the country, was established in 2015 as a joint venture between Tokyo-based SBI Group, the pioneer and current leader in online stock trading in Japan, and Finansia Syrus Securities, one of the five largest securities companies in Thailand.
In April, SBITO became wholly owned by the SBI Group and now takes full advantage of group synergies. Drawing on the group’s market-leading Japanese online trading platform, SBITO provides genuine and high-quality stock trading services and, through the use of advanced technology, minimises investors’ costs.
