The Stock Exchange of Thailand will list 28 new depositary receipts linked to international stocks and ETFs, covering markets in Asia, the United States and Europe. The move is part of SET’s effort to broaden investment choices for domestic investors and strengthen Thailand’s capital-market competitiveness against other Asian exchanges.
The new listings span high‑growth sectors such as semiconductors, AI, electronics, clean energy, infrastructure, and aerospace. Asian names include Chinese chip‑equipment makers Advanced Micro-Fabrication Equipment Inc and Hua Hong Grace Semiconductor while U.S. heavyweights Dell, Intel, and Palantir, as well as Europe’s Airbus, are also part of the lineup. This move reflects a broader regional trend of exchanges offering easier access to global blue‑chip equities.
These new depositary receipts aim to provide investors with broader access to global markets, allowing them to diversify their portfolios with greater ease. By linking to international stocks and ETFs, investors can tap into growth opportunities across different regions, benefiting from the economic developments in Asia, the United States, and Europe. This initiative is part of the Stock Exchange of Thailand’s efforts to enhance market offerings and meet the growing demand for international investment options among Thai investors.
Key figures / indicators: 28 new DRs; underlying assets include international equities and ETFs across Asia, the US and Europe.
Why it matters: Easier access to global assets could deepen Thailand’s capital market while allowing domestic investors to diversify without opening overseas brokerage accounts. It also reflects a broader shift in SET strategy toward keeping Thai savings and trading activity within the local financial system as investors increasingly look beyond domestic equities.
