SET President Kesara Manchusree said, “This project is progressing to its second year, after successfully gaining 6,800 participants from 18 universities nationwide last year. The project aims to build integrated knowledge of financial and investment to new generation via online channel, especially investment in derivatives assets requiring advanced expertise. As such, this year’s project focuses on derivatives trading. It is also part of SET’s strategy to expand novice investor base by targeting university students likely to be interested in investment more and more. We expect that the event will build quality new investors in the future and investment experts in the capital market.”
“The young generation prefers to be self-employed, so being investor should be a choice for them. Online trading could be a good option for them as it is easy to search information via internet and could build investment opportunity easily. The TFEX Click2Win will enable university students to develop and practice skills and join the online trading competition from simulation trading on TFEX. Brokers will act as ‘campus coach’ to offer basic trading course, investment grounds and share experience, as well as giving advice from the beginning, including using Click2Win, to the advanced level by focusing on strategy and technique insights.”
