Mutual Funds
Put your money to work

Bangkok Bank makes it easy for you to invest in equities, bonds and money markets. You’ll have easy access to your funds at all branches nationwide (excluding microbranches) and when you redeem the units, you’ll get your money the next working day (only for a Bangkok Bank account).

Investing in Bangkok Bank’s mutual funds gives you the opportunity to earn higher returns than a normal savings account. In a mutual fund, your money is combined with other peoples to invest in stock, bond and money markets as specified in the prospectus of each fund which has been approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).


Investment Strength of Mutual Funds
Mutual Funds help lower your risk by its diversification of investment. Your assets will be professionally managed by Bangkok Bank’s affiliate, BBL Asset Management Company Limited. Additionally, you have investment strength because your money is pooled with other peoples and you don’t need to pay tax on your return.
