I am a trader of SC securities ,Thailand who takes care of retail clients to trade shares in the Thai stock exchange. However, I also look after foreign clients seeking to make an offshore investments.

Thailand is one of the interesting emerging markets in this region as it is the big country in Southeast Asia and has a strong economy and political stability. Many shares and companies have very good returns because their prices are still under fair value and most have low PER and attractive dividend yields.(The market's PER is only 9)
