Legal Issues concerning Prohibitted Businesss Operated by Foreigners in Thailand

2024-08-12T07:44:10SE Asia Daylight Time

This study reveals that disguised agents have been used in business operations and in companies’ shareholdings. Disguised agents were used to evade laws, including foreign business laws. There are transactions where disguised agents are established became more complicated, such as disguising real shareholders, stock manipulation, and money laundering. It has been shown that business is owned by Thai nationals, but foreigners have real authority to control such company. Moreover, foreigners who are holding preferential rights have more voting rights or use Thai nationals whose occupations are not related to the business to act as shareholders in such business.

The study found that there are currently laws controlling and prohibiting individuals from conducting transactions involving disguised agents. However, such law has not been effectively enforced. This is because the legal provisions have not yet established clear criteria in judging characteristics or behaviors that are considered transactions involving disguised agents. In addition, the laws governing agent transactions also involve many government agencies. The problem is that it is currently unclear about the coordination of information related to illegal transactions among those government agencies. There is no specialized agency to consider transactions involving undercover agents which are used to circumvent the law. Also, there is no clarity in considering the characters of transactions. The study therefore offers suggestions to solve the problem of prohibited business operations by foreigners by establishing concrete regulations and efficient government agencies cooperations.

The Problems of Election Offenses as a Predicate Offense in Money Laundering Law

2024-08-12T07:44:11SE Asia Daylight Time

The Organic Act of Election of Member of the House of Representatives B.E.2561 in Thailand designates predicate offenses, as outlined in Sections 73 (1) and (2) are predicate offenses under The Anti-Money Laundering Act. The provision of predicate offenses primarily pertains to vote-buying activities, involving acts, including inducing individuals to vote for certain candidates by offering, promising, or providing property or benefits to various entities, which could then be classified as predicate offenses for money laundering. Section 158 carries severe penalties and is also considered a money laundering offense, raising concerns about potential over-criminalization. The issue of over-criminalization, where certain actions are excessively criminalized, can lead to conditions in which the acts are more criminal than necessary without benefiting from the charges or bases of the offense that have been determined. And that provision does not take into account the reality of law enforcement whether the perpetrators of the offenses under the law can be punished because in all cases, the Election Commission has issued a decision to prosecute the offenders under the Organic Act of Election of Member of the House of Representatives B.E. 2561, Section 73 (1) and (2), the Election Commission cannot prosecute the offenders for the offense of money laundering.

In addition, the offenses under Sections 73 (1) and (2) as predicate offenses of money laundering are disproportionate consequences and challenges related to enforcement, running counter to the principles of proportionality, the rule of law, and the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand B.E.2560 Section 77 because the penalty rate for election-related offenses is set as predicate offense of money laundering. The provision of offenses under the Organic Act of Election of Members of the House of Representatives B.E.2561, Section 73 (1) and (2) also makes it an offense of money laundering, thus creating uncertainty in law enforcement. In addition, it is ineffective in protecting society and also causes a criminal law that is not enforceable. In addition, the prescribed criminal penalties are less beneficial than the burden or cost that must be lost in making the law work as desired. In addition, according to the Anti-Money Laundering Act B.E. 2542, Section 3 does not contain provisions that election offenses are predicate offenses. Rather, it is stipulated in the last paragraph of the Organic Act of Election of Members of the House of Representatives B.E.2561, Section 73, whereby the offenses under (1) or (2) shall be considered as predicate offenses of money laundering, and the Election Commissioners shall have the authority to refer the matter to the Anti-Money Laundering Office for further action.

The Problems with legal measures related to jointly signed to call a shareholder meeting under the Public Limited Companies Act B.E.2535 (Via electronic media)

In a public limited company, shareholders can participate in the running of the business only through shareholder meetings. Under the Public Limited Companies Act B.E. 2535, a meeting must be held at a specified location and must have the number of attendees required by law. Therefore, when the COVID-19 outbreak occurred, it directly affected the shareholder meeting. In order not to violate the rights of shareholders. The government therefore announced a law to recognize meetings via electronic media. But from the existing law, there are still many legal gaps. Compared to foreign legislation, it has been found that in Australia signing documents related to meetings, including meetings, can be done via electronic form. In the Federal Republic of Germany, a central platform for regulating electronic meetings has not been established. However, all online platforms must have the seals and data protections required by law. In the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, there are plans to launch a national digital platform for virtual meetings. For use by government agencies, organizations, businesses, and the public or even in Thai law in signing a proposal for a law Voters can be invited through electronic media. Agreed that the law should be amended so shareholders can make a book for invite shareholders and can jointly be signed via electronic media in calling a shareholder meeting. To preserve the rights of shareholders Including a platform for controlling meetings via electronic media. It should only be certified and directly regulated by ETDA so that it can be controlled. Easy to check the system and reliable.

Pallid Faded Crosswalk Detection Using YOLO Algorithm

2024-08-12T07:44:13SE Asia Daylight Time

Crosswalks deteriorate and fade from everyday use worldwide, which can lead to accidents between vehicles and pedestrians crossing the crosswalks. The machine learning techniques have the potential to extract patterns from pallid and faded crosswalks by creating models from images of crosswalks at all levels of clarity and images without crosswalks. we have chosen to use YOLOv8 as the model for the crosswalk detection system at all levels of clarity. This model is selected because it demonstrates good efficiency in object detection in images and can process data quickly. We have compiled a dataset of crosswalks at various levels of clarity by driving and collecting data in the Bangkok metropolitan area and its outskirts, which contain zebra crossings of different clarity levels. Furthermore, we have developed a system to classify crosswalk images into three levels of clarity: clear, damaged and faded to a low extent, and heavily damaged and faded. This system also includes images without crosswalks. These images are used to create datasets for zebra crossings at all levels of clarity, following the proportions of training, validation, and testing data, which are used to build a model for detecting crosswalks at all levels of clarity. And after testing the model with the Test dataset, the model achieved an mAP50-95 score of 77.3% and an mAP50 score of 96.2%. As for Precision, it reached 94%, and Recall reached 93%. This crosswalk detection system at all levels of clarity will serve as an assistive component in developing the autonomous car's cruise control or braking system when approaching zebra crossings of any clarity level. It will contribute to promoting safe driving of autonomous vehicles in the vicinity of crosswalks in all clarity levels.

Portfolio Management of ESG Stocks on The Stock Exchange of Thailand

2024-08-12T07:44:14SE Asia Daylight Time

In recent years, investment strategies have increasingly emphasized the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria. This study investigates the performance of investment portfolios constructed using ESG scores from ESG rating agencies, including Refinitiv and S&P Global. Employing Modern Portfolio Theory, specifically Portfolio Optimization techniques, we compare the returns of ESG-focused portfolios against other portfolios that either allocate investments equally across stocks or exhibit a bias towards stocks with higher ESG scores, as well as traditional benchmarks such as market indices. Results indicate that portfolios optimized based on ESG criteria consistently outperform other portfolio strategies and traditional benchmarks over various time horizons. For instance, over a 3-month period, portfolios optimized with Refinitiv's ESG scores achieved returns of 16.16%, 1.98%, and 8.82% for maximum return, minimum variance, and maximum risk-adjusted return portfolios, respectively, compared with the SET index (-10.69%) and the SETESG index (-12.59%).

Determining The Optimal Number of Periods to Evaluate Option Price Using the Binomial and Trinomial Model A Case Study of Set50 Options

2024-08-12T07:44:15SE Asia Daylight Time

The valuation of derivatives, which is the financial instruments, has garnered significant interest from investors, particularly in pricing option derivatives. This study investigates the valuation of options using both binomial and trinomial models. The objective is to determine the appropriate number of steps or intervals (N) for these models to evaluate option values and compare them with the widely used Black-Scholes valuation method. Six different options contracts were selected for this study, with the underlying assets being the SET50 index from the Stock Exchange of Thailand. Historical volatility and implied volatility of the underlying assets were used for comparative valuation.

The research revealed that options valued using the binomial model exhibited more oscillatory behavior compared to those valued using the trinomial model. Ultimately, for the optimal N, both call and put options tended to converge towards the reference price, with errors typically not exceeding ±0.5×10^(-4). This precision corresponds to four decimal places in market prices. The study observed that the trinomial model demonstrated greater stability in its convergence characteristics compared to the binomial model and required fewer intervals for valuation.

Comparing Risk Management Strategy of Merton Dynamic Portfolio with Tangent Portfolio

2024-08-12T07:44:16SE Asia Daylight Time

This research delves into the critical importance of enhancing financial literacy and implementing resilient investment strategies through advanced financial education and portfolio management practices. It evaluates the effectiveness of the Tangent Portfolio and the Merton Dynamic Portfolio (MDP) as tools for mitigating interest rate risk. By comparing these strategies across stocks, bonds, commodities, and cash investments in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Thailand, the study aims to determine which portfolio better defends against interest rate fluctuations. The performance of these portfolios is benchmarked against major indices such as the SPX, UK100, and SET, with evaluations conducted on both a monthly and annual basis. A key objective is to assess how these portfolios perform under various interest rate scenarios, providing insights into managing investment risks through strategic asset allocation and liquidity management without relying on derivatives. The study concludes that the MDP demonstrates superior effectiveness in investment portfolio management. It successfully reduces systemic risks and achieves better risk-adjusted returns across the SPX, UK100, and SET indices compared to the Tangent Portfolio. This is primarily due to the utilization of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) method and the maximization of utility, which allows the MDP to mitigate portfolio risks more efficiently than traditional optimization methods that rely solely on expected returns and variance. Systemic risks modeled in this study, particularly those related to inflation, were based on stochastic processes and further applied to interest rate modeling. This approach enabled a more dynamic and responsive risk management strategy, underscoring the enhanced performance and resilience of the MDP in various economic conditions. The findings aim to offer pathways for investors to navigate financial uncertainties, with a particular focus on the systemic risks associated with interest rate changes. Ultimately, this research seeks to empower individuals with strategies for sustainable financial growth, enabling them to make informed investment decisions in a complex global market.

Financial Risk Assessment Beyond VaR and CVaR with the Application of Topological Data Analysis

2024-08-12T07:44:18SE Asia Daylight Time

This study aims to evaluate financial risk through the application of Topological Data Analysis (TDA), including methods such as constructing the Vietoris-Rips complex () and calculating Euclidean Distance to analyze the structure and assess the changes in stock price data under normal and abnormal market conditions. This leads to the development of a topological risk assessment measure called Topological VaR Distance (TVaRD), which complements traditional risk assessment measures such as Value at Risk (VaR) and Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR). The data used in this study consists of daily stock prices over the past five years, from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2023, for five securities in the food and beverage sector: CPF.BK, CBG.BK, SAUCE.BK, ICHI.BK, and SAPPE.BK.

The study finds that Topological VaR Distance (TVaRD) can serve as a supplementary risk assessment measure to traditional methods at the 95% confidence level for stock price data. TVaRD provides additional information about risk and offers a more appropriate perspective on risk, potentially acting as an early warning system and complementing traditional risk assessments. For example, in the case of SAPPE.BK over the past five years, TVaRD significantly increased from 67.3759 to 404.2511, which aligns with a decrease in VaR from -9.61% to -11.84% and a decrease in CVaR from -12.11% to -36.74%. The decrease in VaR and CVaR indicates increased risk, and thus the increase in TVaRD similarly indicates heightened risk.

Prudent Testing Framework of Mutual Funds Before Offering by The Risk Scoring Method

2024-08-12T07:44:19SE Asia Daylight Time

One of the primary responsibilities of asset management companies (AMCs) before offering various mutual funds to investors is product testing, as mandated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This crucial step involves evaluating the risk levels of mutual funds under hypothetical scenarios, such as crises affecting the prices or liquidity of the fund’s assets. However, the SEC does not prescribe specific risk factors for testing, leading to diverse assessment methodologies based on evaluators' individual experiences. This inconsistency impedes effective risk comparison across similar mutual funds within AMCs. The goal of this research is to construct a standardized methodology for mutual fund product testing through the systematic scoring of risk factors, providing AMCs with a universally recognized framework for risk assessment. The methodology is demonstrated by evaluating the risk factors for the equity fund, iShares Russell 2000 ETF and the fixed income fund, X-Plus, both intended for future offering. The Value-at-Risk at 95% confidence level (VaR 95%) is employed to measure market risk, while Expected Loss (EL) is utilized to gauge credit risk. Additional performance metrics, including Tracking Error, Sharpe Ratio, and % Daily Win Rate, are also incorporated into the evaluation. By converting each factor into a specified risk score and aggregating these scores, the study determines that the equity fund possesses a "moderate" risk level, whereas the fixed income fund exhibits a "relatively low" risk level. These findings align with the statistical performance data of similar previously offered funds. Consequently, the research concludes that the developed risk assessment methodology and specified risk factors can effectively serve as a benchmark for evaluating the risks of similar mutual fund types in future offerings, ensuring consistent and unbiased assessments irrespective of individual evaluators' experiences.
