Strategy calls for hub luring wealth capitalThe Association of Investment Management Companies (AIMC) is advancing a proposal to establish a private trust framework and related asset management legislation, aiming to position Thailand as a regional hub for wealth capital, particularly from the Middle East amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainties. The initiative targets affluent investors seeking safe havens for capital preservation during periods of global instability, he said. A pillar of the strategy is to introduce tax incentives comparable to those offered by Singapore, encouraging foreign investors to register assets and allocate capital to Thailand's capital markets. The plan also aims to mobilise investment from expatriates residing in Thailand, a segment seen as holding substantial untapped capital. If 25,000 of them invest an average of 1 million baht each, the initiative could generate significant capital inflows, noted the AIMC.
