Bangkok, 6 January 2026 – The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has
amended
the regulations governing the operations of asset management companies(AMCs) in

to the mutual fund or investors, in addition to reducing thenumber of investment
units held by those who received excess benefits. Moreover,AMCs are permitted to
compensate in amounts exceeding the actual loss incurred.These changes aim to give
AMCs greater flexibility in managing mutual fundswhile ensuring that investors remain
properly protected and retain all rightfulbenefits.

The SEC held a public hearing in Q3 2025 regarding proposed principles and a draft
notification on asset management companies’ operations in cases of incorrect pricing.
All respondents expressed their support for the proposal. As a result, the SEC has
revised the regulations with the following key points:

(1) AMCs may choose to use their own funds to compensate the affected mutual fund,
providing an alternative to reducing the investment units held by buyers or sellers
who received excess benefits.
