กรุงเทพฯ--3 เม.ย.--SET
The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) announces 485 listed companies, categorized to the seven awards, which are qualified to compete for "SET Awards 2014," to be held for the eleventh consecutive year in November. The award underlines SET’s commitment to improve quality of listed companies to be aligned with other leading capital markets.
SET President Charamporn Jotikasthira said that the awards have been initiated to help enhance quality and boost attractiveness of the Thai capital market as a whole. Three awards, which are Best Company Performance, Best Investor Relations, and Best Corporate Social Responsibility, would be divided into five groups by market capitalization sizes, and one more group for company winner on Market for Alternative Investment (mai). The classification has proved to be fair among large-, medium-, and small-sized companies to compete in their effectiveness.
“SET Awards have been set up to boost standard and effectiveness of listed companies, securities firms, asset management firms and entrepreneurs to grow with quality in line with the Thai capital market’s growth. Selection criteria for winners will be getting tough every year, encouraging companies to reach further for higher standard in operations, as well as to enhance growth to be keeping up with leading capital markets,” Charamporn added.
For this year, the working group has revised some criteria for Best Securities Company award by add online trading value growth as an factor for evaluation, rather than measuring entirely on market share. This reflects the change of business model scenario with more and more influence of internet in the securities business. This year, there will be market surveillance policy and ethics added in award judging criteria as well.
Santi Viriyarungsarit, Editor-in-Chief of Money & Banking magazine, the SET Awards co-host and one of the distinguished judges, said "The respected judges have always maintained the intensity level since the award was established more than a decade ago. The awards not only reflect the company’s effectiveness, but also enhance image and reliability among business partners and investors. The judging committee will continue to organize SET Awards event in order to encourage society to realize the significance of the capital market to the Thai economy, strengthening it to grow with quality.”
This year's awards are in seven categories, consisting of the Best CEO, Best Company Performance, Top Corporate Governance Report, Best Investor Relations, Best Corporate Social Responsibility, Best Securities Company, and Best Asset Management Company Awards. There are also SET Awards of Honor to be granted to persons or organizations who have won in their category continuously. TRIS Corporation Limited will conduct the evaluation under the direction of a panel of distinguished judges.
