October 3, 2025: FN 7107 Company Visit @ Yuanta Securities (Thailand) Co., Ltd.

Yuanta Securities (Thailand) has been a major force in the Thai capital market, with its business model evolving alongside the industry. Once dominated by commission-based brokerage, the company has strategically diversified into investment banking, derivatives, and asset management. Today, Yuanta continues to generate most of its revenue from brokerage, yet complements this with advisory and structured product services that align with shifting client needs. This trajectory mirrors broader trends in Thailand’s securities industry, where increased competition and technology have reshaped how firms create value.

During our visit, we were introduced to Yuanta’s comprehensive approach to financial risk management. The firm employs advanced quantitative methods such as VaR and the MAT model to measure and monitor exposures across asset classes. These models allow Yuanta to assess potential losses under normal and stressed market conditions, enabling management to take proactive steps in capital allocation and hedging. By integrating such strategies into day-to-day operations, Yuanta ensures stability and resilience in a highly volatile market environment.

We also gained perspective on how the Thai brokerage market functions today. With declining commission fees and the rise of online trading platforms, firms like Yuanta are compelled to innovate by offering research insights, personalized investment services, and risk-managed products to retain and grow their client base. The company’s ability to adapt, while maintaining rigorous risk oversight, demonstrates the practical application of the frameworks we study in class.

The visit gave us not only a closer look at Yuanta’s operations, but also a clearer understanding of how financial theory translates into real-world practices. Seeing how a leading securities firm manages risk in a competitive, fast-changing market reinforced the importance of quantitative tools and strategic thinking in financial engineering.

We are deeply grateful to Professor Dr. Sorasart Sukcharoensin and Associate Professor Dr. Pariyada Sukcharoensin for making this experience possible, and to the executives at Yuanta Securities (Thailand), namely Mr. Kiattisak Sirirattanakit, Chief Operating Officer; Mr. Trin Sittisawad, FRM, Vice President of Research Department; and Mr. Songpol Atiworapong, Vice President of Risk Management Department, for generously sharing their expertise.

September 24, 2025: Bloomberg Training Session @ SET Fin Lab

We had the opportunity to study and learn how to use Bloomberg at the SET Fin Lab, Stock Exchange of Thailand. Bloomberg is an essential, industry-standard platform used by financial professionals worldwide for real-time market data and analytics. The session covered company fundamental analysis, tracking financial market data, analyzing charts, financial statements, and news, and utilizing various screening tools for investment decisions.

This training introduced us to various functions that can enhance valuation efficiency and streamline news gathering. We also learned how to use Bloomberg Intelligence (BI) for asset analysis and various Excel add-ins. This experience has been valuable in helping us develop skills in financial analysis, fundamental analysis, and gathering company news. Crucially, mastering this platform is highly beneficial for conducting advanced financial research and will be an invaluable asset in our future professional careers.

We would like to thank Mr. Pornchai Sim, the Bloomberg instructor, and the staff at the SET for delivering such an insightful session.

September 19, 2025: FN 7104 Company Visit @ B.Grimm Power PCL

Under the right circumstances, we were privileged to be given the opportunity to visit B.Grimm. A company rich in history and influence in the past, with great ambitions for tomorrow. Established in 1878, and driven by compassion, its values extend beyond business, supporting locals and nurturing growth wherever it branches. Currently, B.Grimm is one of the largest conglomerates, with its core in energy, followed by ample interest in pharmaceuticals, and growing interest in digital infrastructure.

Since B.Grimm’s motto is “Empowering the World Compassionately,” the company values its operating ethics highly, by committing to its ESG goals, and with the helping hand of many departments, they do so efficiently. On our visit, we obtained an in-depth insight into how the company operates and its impact on its investors, creditors, and most importantly, its impact on the overall community. B.Grimm strives to make changes that are impactful whilst paving the path for tomorrow.

With our growing interest in how industries operate, we were deeply impressed by how B.Grimm lives up to its motto—something rare in today’s business world. Whereas many companies focus solely on profit, B.Grimm demonstrates that lasting success comes from compassion for people, partners, and communities. This alignment between what we observed and what we have studied, from sustainable practices to stakeholder responsibility, made the visit especially meaningful and inspired us to consider how we might carry these values into our own future paths.

Lastly, with the highest level of respect, we wish to express our deepest gratitude to Associate Professor Dr. Pariyada Sukcharoensin and Professor Dr. Sorasart Sukcharoensin for the guidance prior, during, and after the visit, as well as all the executives and staff at B.Grimm for making the trip possible and memorable.
