- Energy: The fund may invest in major energy companies, which play a crucial role in Thailand's infrastructure and economic development.
- Finance: A significant portion of the fund is invested in leading banks and financial institutions in Thailand, which are key to the country's financial system.
- Consumer Goods & Services: The fund also invests in top consumer goods and services companies, capturing growth in Thailand’s thriving retail and service sectors.
- Telecommunications: Telecom companies are a key part of the SET50 Index, providing essential services to both individuals and businesses.
This diversified approach allows the SCBSET50(SSF) Fund to benefit from the overall growth of Thailand's economy while reducing the risk associated with individual stocks.
Performance and Risk Factors
As with any equity-based fund, the performance of the SCBSET50(SSF) Fund is subject to fluctuations in the stock market. The value of the fund may rise or fall depending on the performance of the companies in the SET50 Index and the broader economic conditions in Thailand. However, due to its diversified nature, the risk is generally lower compared to investing in a single stock.
Investors should be aware of the following risks:
- Market Risk: The value of the fund can fluctuate due to overall market conditions, such as economic downturns, political instability, or changes in investor sentiment.
- Sectoral Risk: While the fund is diversified, it still has significant exposure to specific sectors such as energy and finance, which can be impacted by sector-specific events.
- Currency Risk: For investors outside of Thailand, exchange rate fluctuations could affect the value of their investment. shutdown123
