Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted annual fee changes effective Jan. 1, 2027. Investment advisory fees will double to THB 50,000, and derivatives dealers will pay the same annual amount. The rules also broaden fee calculation bases for investment unit dealers and derivatives agents and revise maximum fee rates.
Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has finalized annual fee changes for securities and derivatives business operators, following its September 2026 consultation on draft rules. From Jan. 1, 2027, the annual fee for investment advisory businesses will double from THB 25,000 to THB 50,000, while derivatives dealers will be required to pay THB 50,000 annually.
The revisions also broaden the activity covered by fee calculations. For investment unit dealers, the calculation base will include the value of both purchases and sales of investment units. For derivatives agents, it will cover the number of contracts serviced on exchanges in Thailand and abroad, as well as derivatives traded over the counter. Maximum fee rates are also being revised to reflect supervisory costs and reduce disparities among operators.
