About Stock Exchange of Thailand.
Stock Exchange of Thailand is the principal cash equity venue of Thailand. Established in 1975, it operates today under the regulatory oversight of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Thailand (SEC (Thai)). The exchange’s principal indices are SET Index, SET50, SET100. Listing standards and continuing obligations are codified in the SET Listing Rules; SEC Act B.E. 2535.
Thailand’s principal equity venue. Index concentration in energy, banking, and infrastructure; foreign-investor share-class structures (NVDR - Non-Voting Depository Receipt) are a recurring feature of non-resident position structuring.
The exchange operates the following segments: SET Main Board; mai (Market for Alternative Investment). Each segment imposes its own listing standards and continuing obligations, which interact with the firm’s eligibility analysis for institutional positions.
What qualifies on SET.
SET is an established but selective market. Eligibility on SET is assessed against single-stock liquidity, free float, and shareholder concentration; the firm’s threshold for institutional positions is calibrated to the market’s depth and the specific underlying.
For any specific position on SET, the firm’s eligibility review addresses: free float and average daily trading volume relative to the contemplated pledge size; the shareholder’s status (controlling shareholder, substantial shareholder, director, or otherwise) and the resulting disclosure profile; the issuer’s sector and the segment in which it is listed; any concurrent regulatory considerations (takeover-code mechanics, foreign-ownership caps, regulated-industry restrictions); and the specific structuring requirements of the contemplated transaction (LTV, tenor, currency, recourse profile, custody arrangement).
Indicative terms for a SET-listed position are issued only after a review of the specific position. A published rate sheet is not used; the discipline of the structuring is itself the value.
Framework cited on SET.
The principal regulatory reference on SET is SEC Notification TorJor. 7/2552. Operational mechanics, reporting levels, step thresholds, and per-transaction interpretation are governed by the underlying rules and the relevant national-law overlays. These are mapped against any contemplated transaction at the structuring stage in coordination with the borrower’s chosen counsel.
For controlling shareholders, directors, and other regulated holders, additional regimes apply on SET — including the takeover-code mechanics of the Thailand market, insider-dealing rules under the SEC (Thai) framework, and listing-rule restrictions on dealings during defined windows. The disclosure footprint of any contemplated transaction is mapped at the structuring stage; sequencing, language, and concurrent regulatory communications are managed accordingly.

Each enquirer should obtain independent legal advice in the relevant jurisdiction for any specific transaction.
The route to a SET stock loan.
The firm’s engagement model is consistent across markets: five disciplined stages from confidential enquiry to capital deployment, with senior principals throughout. For SET-listed positions, the structuring stage addresses the market-specific factors above — settlement under the SET conventions, custody arrangements with a Thailand-qualified custodian, THB-denominated and cross-currency options, and disclosure timing under the SEC (Thai) regime.
