Thai ESG Extra (Thai ESG X) funds attracted strong interest from investors, particularly holders of matured long-term equity funds (LTFs), tallying total investments of 32.2 billion baht by the end of the offering period on June 30, according to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Of the amount, 25.1 billion baht came from LTF conversions, while 7.08 billion was new capital.

The converted LTF value represents 79% of eligible LTF holders with portfolios of less than 500,000 baht, highlighting the success of encouraging sustainable investing among retail investors, noted the SEC.

Thai ESG X funds are a government-backed initiative to encourage investment in companies focused on environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors.

The measure also aims to enhance the stability of Thailand's capital markets by offering tax incentives for new investments in Thai ESG X.
