NSF to seek better return on investment next year

The National Savings Fund will start taking positions in SET 50 companies early next year after its board gives the green light to expanding options for realising a better return on investment.

Somporn Chitpentom, secretary-general of NSF, said Tuesday that return on investment should reach 5-7 per cent next year, up from 2-3 per cent currently, when it can invest in the stock market.
The fund aims for a 10-15-per-cent weighting in SET 50 stocks.
