SEC launches mobile app

The Securities and Exchange Commission is brushing up its old image, with the introduction of mobile application to satisfy new-generation investors.



 "Start-to-invest" is now available for iPhone and iPad, set to become personal advisor that can answer all investment-related questions.
 "This is part of the SEC's strategy towards modernisation and friendliness to all," said SEC Secretary-General Vorapol Socatiyanurak.
 His deputy Chalee Chantanayingyong is confident that this mobile application would raise awareness of financial planning among Thai consumers.
 The application contains a financial planning mode, which can be adjusted accordingly to spending and saving ability. It offers updates on mutual fund prices and information on investment options. 

Earlier, the SEC launched newsletter and a short video under the same name to educate investors.
