Draft Speech By Somphote Ahunai Director of Vision Advisory Company Limited Good morning ladies and gentlemen, I, on behalf of Vision Advisory Company Limited would like to say thank you all for coming here to help us launch financial website under the name of "eFinanceThai.com" eFinanceThai.com was born with the intention to create working team of a new generation to help society and to erase old cliche that internet is something difficult for Thais. This can be proved by various programs of eFinanceThai.com which have been created by our new generation team members and not bought from overseas. eFinanceThai.com is different from other current websites in that it emphasises its information service providing on communication technology. eFinanceThai.com has techniques that differed from other websites. Other websites provide information in a form of "Content Provider" which is a service providing information in statistical form or Pull Technology rather than Push Technology but eFinanceThai.com is a mixture of Pull and Push technologies. Samples of information provided by eFinanceThai.com: News: provided and supported by a team of professional reporters. News presentation is in Real Time, which is very important in today's investment situation as it is necessary for investors to acquire the information accurately and with high speed to supplement their decision making. eFinanceThai.com is a website with technology that can push information to investors immediately without having to refresh on monitor, so it is really Real Time. Graph: This is only website which investors can carry out a complete technical analysis with 10 year back-dated information. Clients can change information, create graph, choose various technical analysis indicators of their choice from 44 types of indicators. Moreover, calculation formula is internationally standardized. This is differed from some types of estimation formula-based technical indicators which, on the surface, look the same but actually are not. Stock Focus: Investors will know the information from fundamental analysis on each of the stocks, overall picture of the industry, general basic information of listed companies such as names of shareholders, financial statement, dividend payment policy etc. The information will help investors in their investment dicision in particular stocks. Real-time Quote: As it has been said earlier, eFinanceThai.com is Push Technology and clients can turn on monitor which shows the movement of stock prices without having to refresh all the times. Prices will be changed according to real situation and will automatically be shown on the monitor. eFianceThai.com is the only website with Ticker which enables investors to observe each trading of stocks. Moreover, investors will be able to watch foreign index in Realtime 24 hours. Web TV: This is a service providing financial information with picture. It is the first website to use Multimedia communication technology. With an audio and visual presentation, investors will be more perceptive of news and information than a normal reading from monitor. Overall, it could be seen that we create this website with the main purpose to provide "One Stop Service" for investors and to show that this website is beneficial to today's investors who are looking for information and news to help them make correct and clever investment decision. It is also aimed to show the difference from the past when the investors' level of news and information perception was different and based on the type of investors. Institution and major investors would have access to speedier and more detailed-information and news than retail investors. Retail investors were in disadvantage position to major investors. But today, eFianceThai.com will eliminate the inequality in news perception between major and retail investors. This will help increase the efficiency of SET. The more news enter the market, the better stock prices respond to the news and this will reduce the gap for those stock manipulators. Besides the benefits given to investors in the stock market, eFianceThai.com is aimed and intende to become "Financial Expert". It will be a medium for investors or those who want to invest in other form of investment other than depositing money. Investors will be able to make the right investment decision plan and this will bring about the most effective investment or savings with the highest benefits. We don't intend to compete with other websites but emphasize on the services to those who use our website. With technology created by Thais, our program will be easier to improve or adjusted than those created by foreigners. Our investment is not high because we don't have to buy technology, nor workers. This project is created for Thai people and by Thai people. Team members have mutual dream to see technology created by Thai people to be successful and to benefit Thai society. To apply to be member through broker, as of today, there is only Yuanta Securities because of my position as an MD there but we plan to cooperate with other brokers in the future. We have no policy to bar other brokers from joining in and no policy attached with Yuanta. As I said, this project is my own personal dream. This web does not contain information of clients. When client logs into web, the program will then ask broker whether the log-in client is the client of the broker, if the answer is yes, eFinanceThai.com will allow client too log in but the web has no information of the client. It is not only brokers that can join in with efinancethai but anyone who is involved with finance can do so, but the cooperations may be varied depending on the type of business of that company or individual.
