What you need to know about the SET100 Index.

The World Bank describes Thailand as ‘one of the great development success stories’. Smart economic policies put in place in the 1980s saw multi-year GDP growth of between 5 and 13 percent. However, since the military seized power in 2014, that growth has slowed to 3 percent or lower and it now lags behind other Southeast Asian economies. Both the SET50 Index and SET100 Index give the investor exposure to the Thai market, with the SET100 being the broader measure. You can easily invest in the SET100 using the ThaiDEX SET100 ETF, traded on the Stock Exchange of Thailand.
