The Stock Exchange of Thailand has been operating the INVESTORY Investment Learning Museum since January 4, 2016, to serve as the first source of financial planning and investment education in Thailand. This Interactive Self-Discovery Museum aims to inspire financial planning and investment (Inspire to Invest) for youth and the general public interested in investing, as well as to enhance understanding of the mechanisms of the Thai capital market and the development of the Stock Exchange.

As INVESTORY enters its fifth year of operation, the Stock Exchange plans to upgrade INVESTORY in 2020, including both permanent and special exhibitions, under the concept of Inspire to Invest for Sustainability. This will include new content on responsible investing, updated information on the development of the capital market, and a revamped museum design to create a new learning experience using modern learning media and technology.

5 Highlights of the Development and Improvement of the INVESTORY Exhibition

·New Content - Added content on the development of the Stock Exchange in its fifth decade (2016-2020) with the theme “Growing Together” and information on responsible investing, introducing “Sustainable Stocks”.

·New Characters - Enjoy learning through the four SET Heroes and two new heroes, “Power G”, experts in sustainable stock investment representing modern investors, along with Money Monsters, new financial foes that are more dangerous, ready to attack individuals and threaten the world.

·New Look - Redesigned learning spaces to be more spacious, with a new Pop Futuristic museum design that features bright Pop Art styles and comic formats, using shiny colors and materials that are environmentally friendly while maintaining the unique Paradox lines that characterize INVESTORY.

·New Learning Technology - Creating new experiences for visitors by adding diverse learning media and technology to enhance excitement, making learning more enjoyable through hands-on modern investment games and vibrant audio-visual technology.

·New Extra Exhibition - Experience the special exhibition “Sustainable Stock City” (INVESTOPIA) that inspires visitors to recognize the role of modern investors in promoting and supporting businesses to operate with care for the environment (Environmental), society (Social), and governance (Governance), or ESG. Visitors will also learn about and try investing in sustainable stocks using real data from the Settrade Streaming program to create sustainability in their investments and the world simultaneously. The special exhibition INVESTOPIA is designed using natural materials such as bamboo and rope, divided into four sub-zones:

 

1. Sustainability Risks (Invisible Risks) - ESG Risks arise when organizations operate without regard for environmental, social, and governance factors. Not only do businesses face direct impacts, but investors may also suffer from decreased business value. Therefore, investors should be aware of these hidden risks.

2. Sustainable Business Mechanisms (ESG Business Exploring) - Businesses can reduce ESG Risks by minimizing negative impacts or creating added value in the value chain from upstream to downstream, benefiting both the business and stakeholders at every stage, while enhancing long-term competitiveness.

3. The Power of Responsible Investors (Power of Responsible Investors) - Modern investors can leverage their power as shareholders to encourage businesses to reduce ESG Risks, enabling sustainable growth and providing good long-term returns for investors.

4. Conquering Investment for a Sustainable World (World of Sustainable Investment) - Learn about “Sustainable Stocks” or businesses that operate with ESG considerations, which have the potential for good long-term returns. Visitors will have the opportunity to try investing in sustainable stocks and witness positive outcomes, contributing to a sustainable world while making investment decisions.
