Same 5-year hold requirement, same tax mechanic, same maximum deduction. Differences are in active management, sector tilts, and cost.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Major_providers\"><\/span>Major providers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>SCB Asset Management<\/strong>: SCBTM (Thai ESG) is among the most-held. Top positions include CPALL, AOT, DELTA, ADVANC, SAWAD. About 83% equity. Management fee ~1.0%. Easy access via SCB EASY App.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bualuang Asset Management<\/strong>: B-TOP-THAIESG concentrates in top 10 ESG-rated Thai companies. Higher concentration, stronger conviction. Management fee ~1.2%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Krungsri Asset Management<\/strong>: Broader diversification with 30-40 holdings. Stronger mid-cap ESG weighting. Management fee ~1.1%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>K-Asset<\/strong>: K-CHANGE-ThaiESG focuses on sustainability themes \u2014 energy transition, sustainable consumption, governance leaders. More thematic positioning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MFC Asset Management<\/strong>: Balanced approach across sectors, weighted toward defensive ESG names like utilities and telecoms.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Performance_comparison\"><\/span>Performance comparison<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Through 2025-2026, performance has clustered within 3-5% across major Thai ESG funds. Funds with heavier petrochemical exposure outperformed in Q1 2026. Year-on-year through May 2026, top-tier Thai ESG funds returned 18-25%; bottom-tier returned 12-15%.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fees_over_5_years\"><\/span>Fees over 5 years<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Management fees range 1.0-1.5% per year. Over 5 years, the difference between 1.0% and 1.5% compounds to roughly 2.5% of total returns. On \u0e3f300,000 invested, that&#8217;s \u0e3f7,500 drag \u2014 smaller than the tax benefit but worth noting.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_to_actually_pick\"><\/span>Which to actually pick<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For most investors: whichever your existing AMC or bank already offers, if not significantly worse on fees. The 5-year lock means convenience matters. If no preference, SCBTM or B-TOP-THAIESG are most popular and accessible.<\/p>\n<p>Remember Thai ESG and Thai ESGX are separate deduction buckets \u2014 you can hold both. Most major AMCs offer parallel ESG and ESGX funds. Splitting across two AMCs reduces concentration on any single manager.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Six asset managers offer Thai ESG funds with similar tax mechanics but different underlying portfolios.
