MESSAGE FROM CHAIRMAN

THAILAND

Review of 2024

The Thai economy grew by 2.7 percent in 2024, up from 1.9 percent in 2023, driven by a recovery in exports towards the end of the year, particularly in demand for electronics and agricultural products. This includes the tourism sector recovering from a low base in 2023. In addition, government investment is expected to accelerate in the second half of the year from increased government spending.

Outlook for 2025

UOB Global Economics & Market Research (GEMR) expects the Thai economy to grow by 2.9 percent in 2025, driven by the following main factors: 1) Government’s investment expanding from higher investment budget compared to 2024, 2) exports that are likely to grow in line with the up-cycle of the electronics industry, 3) tourism recovering from the increasing number of inbound tourists, and 4) private investment showing signs of recovery. Although domestic consumption may grow at a slower rate, government policies focusing on debt restructuring and stimulating consumption are expected to support continuous economic expansion in 2025. We expect the Bank of Thailand (BOT) to cut the policy interest rate by 25 bps to 2.00 percent in 2025.

Stock Market Review for 2024

Overview of the Thai stock market in 2024 SET Index decreased by 1.1 percent in 2024. In the first half of the year, the market faced selling pressure from foreign investors affected by political uncertainty. However, the market recovered in the second half of the year after the formation of a new government led by Prime Minister Paethongtarn Shinawatra. Although the index recovered, the market's gains were concentrated in large-cap stocks, while mid- and small-cap stocks underperformed the overall market.

The industry groups with the highest returns were the electronic components group (up 67 percent), the information technology group (up 37 percent), the media group (up 13 percent), and the banking group (up 11 percent). The groups with the lowest returns were the packaging group (down 33 percent), the transportation and logistics group (down 25 percent), and the automotive group (down 25 percent).

In 2024, net buyers were domestic retail investors (49 billion baht), domestic institutional investors (49 billion baht), and securities company accounts (15 billion baht), while foreign investors were net sellers (148 billion baht). The Thai stock market was mainly pressured by capital outflows from foreign investors.

2024 Operating Performance

For the year ended December 31, 2024, there was a net loss of 129.99 million baht, compared to a net profit of 90.86 million baht in the same period of the previous year, which was mainly due to increased expenses from 1,031,775,340 baht to 1,178,185,017, or an increase of 14.19 percent, mainly due to the recording of a loss from impairment of goodwill of 252,678,922 baht.

Stock Market and Business Outlook in 2025

In 2025, we expect the Thai stock market to fluctuate sideways, especially in the first half of the year. The market direction may be affected by the policies of US President Donald Trump, whose increased geopolitical risks may cause capital to flow into US dollar-denominated assets and increase the risk of capital outflows from emerging markets, including Thailand.

Amidst this uncertainty, we recommend an investment strategy that focuses on domestic stocks, which are less affected by international political risk factors.

The main investment themes in 2025 are: 1) Groups supported by economic momentum (tourism and construction) 2) Groups that benefit from debt restructuring and purchasing power stimulus measures (finance, retail and banking) 3) Groups that benefit from the downward interest rate cycle (finance and utilities) 4) Groups that benefit from a new round of investment in Thailand (Industrial and Tourism Estate).

APPRECIATION

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our stakeholders for their contributions, and we look forward to their continuing support and would like to thank my fellow board members, management and staff for their support all these years.

Mr. Viroj Tangjetanaporn
Chairman of the Board of Directors

UOB Kay Hian Securities (Thailand) Public Company Limited (“the Company”), previously known as “Ocean Securities Company Limited”, was established on July 2, 1998, with an initial registered capital of Baht 250 million because of the separation of finance and securities business of Ocean Finance and Securities Company Limited. The Company accepted the transfer of assets and liabilities in securities business including the member of the Stock Exchange of Thailand No. 26 from Ocean Finance and Securities Company Limited and was approved by the Office of the SEC, starting securities business since then.

In 2000, Ocean Securities Company Limited sold its shares to United Investment Limited, a UOB group company in Singapore, and changed the name to UOB Securities (Thailand) Company Limited. Subsequently, there was a business merger between UOB Group and Kay Hian Holdings Group as UOB-Kay Hian Holdings Limited. In 2001, the shareholding structure was restructured when United Investment Limited sold all its shares to UOB-Kay Hian Holdings Limited, allowing UOB-Kay Hian Holdings Limited to hold 99.99% of the total paid-up shares and changed the name to UOB Kay Hian Securities (Thailand) Company Limited. Later in the same year, the Company bought a retail business from BNP Paribas Peregrine Securities (Thailand) Company Limited, and on February 21, 2005, the Company transformed into a public company under the name UOB Kay Hian Securities (Thailand) Public Company Limited.

UOB-Kay Hian Holdings Limited, the parent company, is a listed securities company whose subsidiaries have significant market share in Singapore and also have regional offices in Hong Kong, Malaysia, London, New York, Jakarta, Shanghai, Manila and Toronto.

As a result of such extensive relationships and networks, the Company can expand its customer base both domestically and internationally.

In addition, the Company has received knowledge exchange, experience, and assistance in conducting securities business from the group companies. We have entered into a Service Agreement with UOB Kay Hian Private Limited, a subsidiary of UOB-Kay Hian Holdings Limited, which offers a wide range of services (details of the Service Agreement and service fees can be found in the topic “Connected transactions”). From the past to the present, the Company has received assistance under the service agreement, such as developing information technology systems linked to a single system within the UOB Kay Hian Group, setting up a securities trading and risk management system, and developing various systems which continue to be effective and meet clients’ requirements according to international standards.

Since 2005, the Company has received marketing support and implemented the Cross Selling Project, enabling the Company to expand its brokerage services to clients by introducing clients through group companies. In addition, the Company benefits from sharing resources with group companies, for example using information together in securities analysis including access to overseas research articles and market conditions prepared by group companies to develop our research.

In 2010, the Company acquired and transferred the brokerage business from Merchant Partners Securities Public Company Limited. The Company issued and allocated new ordinary shares to Merchant Partners Securities Public Company Limited as consideration for the business transfer.

In 2011, the Company acquired United Securities Public Company Limited ("United"), which includes rights to hire or contract for services specifically for Investment Consultants, any property, leasehold rights in connection with securities business, receivables, and other assets but excluding United's liabilities and obligations before the asset transfer (“Business Transfer”).

Major Changes and Developments in the Past 3 Years

Their share of trading volume increased to 34.02 percent (from 33.82 percent in 2023), while foreign investors' share decreased to 50.05 percent from 50.68 percent in 2023.

Risk Management Policy

UOB Kay Hian Securities (Thailand) Public Company Limited

Introduction

Taking risks is an integral part of entrepreneurial behavior. The objectives of Risk Management function is not to eliminate all risks but to ensure that we are aware of all relevant risks and efforts are made to manage these appropriately at all business levels. Management needs to take those risks into consideration when making any business decision.

The aim of our Risk Management Policy is to establish formal communication to all business units and all departments on the Risk Management Framework and provide guidance on the risk tolerance of the Company. This will ensure that all business units perform risk identification, risk evaluation, risk control and risk monitoring in a consistent manners.

Risk Management Policy Statement

The Company believes Risk Management is one of the key strategies to help the Company achieve our objectives. We ensure that all business units implement our Risk Management Framework in dealing with all foreseeable risks appropriately. All material risks will be registered, monitored and reported to Management in order to be controlled efficiently such that Risk Management becomes an inherent factor to be taken into account when making business decisions.

Key safeguards embedded in the Company’s Risk Management policy include ensuring compliance with legal requirements and ensuring the integrity of the company’s financial reporting in both the company and business unit levels. The risk management approach integrated areas of corporate governance and internal controls system of the organization.

The Company has established both a top down and bottom up approach to Risk Management

The Board of Directors provide the top down oversight and accountability and has the responsibility of a) setting out the risk policy and framework b) reviewing the appropriateness of the policy and framework on an ongoing basis and c) ensuring that risk management and internal controls are implemented. In order to achieve this end, the Audit Committee is tasked with evaluating the sufficiency of the enterprise risk management policy and providing advice to both the Board and the Management.

At the core of the Company’s Risk Management structure is the Executive Committee (Ex-com). The Ex-com is responsible for monitoring and controlling key risks and any conditions that may have a material effect on business operations. Further the Ex-com acts as the centre of risk management engagement with the ability to reach out to the rest of the organization.

Each employee in the Company is encouraged to increase awareness of the impanct their own responsibilities may have on the organization as a whole. Our bottom-up risk management approach is done by business/risk owners. Each business unit is responsible for identifying, assessing and controlling Company to conduct a risk self assessment workshop with each department. This process aims to educate and increase awareness of bottom-up risks that each business unit may be exposed to.

In addition, Board of directors set up Risk Management Committee, which comprise of qualified director. RMC consolidates risks of all businesses and performs business impact analysis at the Company level. On continuing basis, RMC supports each business unit in implementing Risk Management and updates to Board of Director annually.

Aside from the role of verifying the effectiveness and integrity of existing internal controls, the internal audit team is also responsible for an independent audit of the risk management process

The Risk Management framework is a continuous and developing process which is central to the Company’s strategic management and designed to provide ‘reasonable assurance’.

To ensure good governance of company-wide risk management, the BoD approved a Risk Management Framework as a guideline for all business units to pursue. The BoD also appointed the RMC to monitor and control key risks to be consistent with the Company’s objectives.

For reporting and compliance related objectives, the system is designed to provide reasonable assurance that objectives are actually met. For strategic and operational objectives (which are subject to external influences) the framework is designed to provide reasonable assurance that management and the RMC are at least aware of the progress of each business unit in achieving its objectives.

        1. Risk Identification: With the aim of identifying our organization’s exposure to uncertainty, the Company has developed a methodical approach to indentifying risk. The Company and each business unit are responsible for identifying relevant risks and assessing its potential impact. This process is reviewed at least annually. Further the Holding company consolidates those risks and categories into five primary risks; Strategic, Operational, Financial, Compliance and Fraud. The Company believes that an in-house approach to Risk Management is most effective.
        2. Risk Evaluation: The Company and each business unit have developed a “Risk Map”. This map summarises material risks that could impact the Company’s strategic objectives and financial, such as earnings and continued operations. Risks are considered a material threat if they are above the predetermined threshold. Each risk is also described, and estimated in terms of probability of occurrence and severity of impact in the case it occurs.
         3. Risk Reporting: The efficient communication of risk intelligence within a company is critical and supported by a sound corporate governance structure. Each business unit produces a report of critical variables to help the tracking of risks of the business on regular basis.
         4. Risk Control: For risks which are identified as being above the acceptable threshold, the Company and each business unit will propose countermeasures to reduce or control the risk with Cost-Benefit Analysis and implement those measures if approved by BoD.
         5. Risk Monitoring: Risk monitoring involves both the ongoing assessment of risks as well as the ongoing review of the system that controls the risks. This is in order for the risk management frame work to remain effective in an external and internal environment that is dynamic in nature. Each business unit produces a report with warning threshold at both Company level to help monitoring their risks closely. If the threshold crossed, the risk will be escalated to the Head of the relevant business unit to take action immediately. To evaluate risk control, each business unit monitors the risks and their impacts on operations, which will be updated to the RMC on a quarterly basis. The overall system’s integrity is also reviewed by the Board of Directors in the annual Evaluation on the Adequacy of the internal Control System’
