Date 4 Aug 2569 SCB Asset Management (SCBAM) debut The SCB Multi Advantage Strategy USD (SCBUSDADVANTAGE) open-ended fund is prohibited from being sold to retail investors. This is SCBAM's first hedge fund, offering professional investors access to institutional-level investment strategies aimed at generating diversified returns while systematically managing risk amidst the volatility and uncertainty of the global financial markets.

Mr. Narongsak Plodmeechai, CEO of SCBAM, stated that under volatile market conditions stemming from economic, monetary policy, and geopolitical factors, investors are increasingly focusing on diversifying their sources of return. Meanwhile, hedge fund strategies are gaining acceptance among institutional investors worldwide due to their flexibility, proactive risk management, and low market correlation, enabling them to enhance portfolio performance in diverse market environments.

For the SCBUSDADVANTAGE fund, this represents another significant step in expanding SCBAM's investment options, giving professional investors access to institutional-grade hedge fund strategies previously restricted to institutional and large investors. This helps to enhance diversification and strengthen the long-term return potential of investment portfolios.

Mr. Narongsak stated that SCBUSDADVANTAGE invests through the master fund iCapital Multi-Strategy Fund, Ltd, which in turn invests in the benchmark fund Verition International Multi-Strategy Fund Ltd, managed by Verition Fund Management LLC, a world-class multi-strategy hedge fund specialist from the United States with over US$14,000 billion in assets under management.

The fund's key feature is its multi-strategy portfolio management approach, utilizing multiple teams of managers with specialized expertise in various strategies. This creates diverse sources of return from various investment approaches, along with a multi-tiering risk management system that addresses risk at four levels: defining the risk framework for each strategy, allocating investments, managing overall portfolio risk, and oversight by the main fund manager. This results in a flexible portfolio with diversified investments across various asset classes and low market correlation.

The SCBUSDADVANTAGE fund offers units denominated in US dollars (USD), suitable for ultra-high net worth investors seeking to allocate investments in major global financial market currencies. This enhances flexibility in managing foreign assets and supports further investment opportunities in global assets through advanced investment strategies previously reserved for institutional investors, while also mitigating investment risk from exchange rate volatility between foreign currencies and the Thai baht. The fund is classified as a highly complex fund (8+), with a minimum initial investment of US$1,500 and subsequent investments of US$30. Redemption is quarterly. The initial public offering (IPO) of units will take place from August 4–13, 2569.
