Bangkok--8 Nov--SEC
The SEC, Association of Provident Fund (AOP) and Association of Investment Management Companies (AIMC) collaborated to develop an Accredited Provident Fund Committee Members Program (APC). The APC aims at educating the provident fund committee members on best practices, good governance and duties of the provident fund committee. The program includes knowledge on various financial instruments, how-to select investment policies and asset management companies, and performance assessment of asset management companies. Those completing APC will be awarded a certificate presenting the readiness for performance of a provident fund committee’s duties.
The SEC is well aware of the significant role of the provident fund committee members and therefore puts strong emphasis on the program development. To achieve the finest benefits for the fund members, the provident fund committee members should be knowledgeable in practices concerning provident fund and investment in various financial products. For the best interest of the fund members, they should also be well-versed in selecting asset management companies, monitoring and assessing performance of asset management companies to conform to risk diversification specified under the investment plan. The APC program will nurture the participants to be capable of effective provident fund monitor. All provident fund committee members are encouraged to enroll the program to lift up the role of provident fund committee to meet with the international standards.
The Accredited Provident Fund Committee Members Program (APC) is hosted by the Association of Provident Fund (AOP). The program’s first session is scheduled on November 7 — 8, 2013 at Ariston Hotel, Sukhumvit Road.
