• Introducing SET CONNECT: new trading engine with efficiency equivalent to that of leading securities markets
On September 3, 2012, SET launched “SET CONNECT”,
its new multi-asset trading engine, with full cooperation from
brokerages and other parties. Over the past 14 months, the system
has been tested based on real situations, with more than 5,000
marketing officers of securities firms participating in the test to
transmit purchasing and buying orders from more than 300 head
offices and branches. SET CONNECT is as efficient as the systems
of world-leading securities markets, packing with stability and
safety to handle with greater transactions and new financial
instruments. The system responds to the demands of investors
in both domestic and international markets. The migration from
the old trading system to the new one is a significant upgrade
and more effectively and efficiently links the Thai market to international exchanges. The system has been proven to function with
high performance levels and at full capacity. SET will continue to develop the system by applying it to futures markets.
• Developing clearing systems to prepare for expanding SET business
In 2012, SET developed post-trade services following its Operations Master Plan (2012-2016), by agreeing with the Korea
Exchange (KRX) to upgrade SET’s clearing system for equity, bonds and futures. KRX subsidiary KOSCOM is expert in developing
clearing systems, and will design and develop SET’s new clearing system to cope with further expansion of business opportunities,
and promote the flexibility required for issuing new financial instruments, connecting and engaging in transactions with international
clearing houses more conveniently, making the Thai clearing house one of the most attractive in the region.
• Boosting efficiency and risk management of the clearing house for equity and futures
TCH has improved its risk management system by monitoring intraday risk of members and looking at the integrated risk
exposure of securities and futures contracts of members to enable the clearing house to monitor the risk of members on a timely
basis. This enables members to prepare collateral in advance if their risk exceeds the required level. In addition, TCH has developed
a system, called collateral services, to enable members to enquire their collaterals both for securities and futures transactions and
withdraw excess collateral through the system.
