Bangkok--Mar 11--SET
The website www.settrade.com has been granted an award from Truehits, Thailand’s website directory and statistics, as the most popular website under ‘Banking-Finance’ category for the 2nd year in a row.
CEO of SETTRADE.Com Mrs. Chanisa Chutipat disclosed that SETTRADE’s website, www.settrade.com, received the ‘Truehits 2004 Award’ from the Government Information Technology Services (GITS) of the National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC). These awards are granted to the 100 most popular websites in Thailand in all categories, as well as the most popular website in each of 18 categories.
“SETTRADE.Com feels very honored to have received this award from GITS, the owner of ‘Truehits’. SETTRADE received two awards— the Number 1 ranking out of the 112 websites in the ‘Banking-Finance’ category, and the Number 28 ranking out of the 10,106 websites in Thailand. This 28th. ranking was an improvement over last year’s 38th. These recognitions are the result of significant improvements made to our website, both in content and web features, as we constantly develop. That’s why the number of users has been continuously increasing,” she said.
www.settrade.com’s aim is to be Thailand’s investment portal site, and has been developed in line with the Thai Capital Market Master Plan formulated in 2002. It continues to efficiently equip investors with useful information for making their investment decisions.
“Apart from stock prices and other related information provided on the website, SETTRADE receives strong assistance from numerous organizations in making its website content continually better. Some of these organizations include the Securities Analysts Association (SAA) (which provides the ’analyst consensus’ from more than 20 brokers’ research reports), Telerate (which provides information on foreign indices, foreign exchange rates, gold prices, and oversea oil prices) and the Energy Planning and Policy Office (which provides local oil prices). Currently there are more than 100,000 members who subscribe to SETTRADE’s website,” she noted.
As Mrs. Chanisa went on; “This award again proves that www.settrade.com is beneficial to investors. Therefore we’ll move on with additional developments in 2005. There will be improvements on our website, in both the content and web services, to better respond to our users’ needs.
“SETTRADE will also expand our services to serve hi-speed Internet users. We’ve launched SETCAST, the telecast of seminars organized by the SET, its subsidiaries and the securities companies using the broadband Internet. The first broadcasts, live from the sessions in ‘SET in the City 2004’, proved to be a big success. There were about 5,000 visitors to the website for those broadcasts. ”
