KH Academy is advancing its mission, aligned with the initiatives of Kaohoon, to cultivate and enhance the knowledge of university students, particularly those in their second to fourth years. Through the KH Preparatory Programs, students are prepared for careers in financial investments through three main courses:
- Prep for Financial Advisor – preparing students for roles as financial advisors
- Prep for Investment Analyst – focusing on readiness for careers as investment analysts
- Prep for Fund Manager – training for future fund managers
KH Academy collaborates extensively with private sector partners, government entities, and leading educational institutions to offer these programs. One notable partner is Kasikorn Asset Management Co., Ltd. (KAsset), which supports the initiative by providing a team of analysts and professional fund managers who serve as guest lecturers and mentors to convey knowledge and share experiences with the students.
Mr. Panodphol Tantawichian, the Chief Investment Officer at KAsset, who also serves as a distinguished judge for the portfolio presentation competition conducted by eight teams in the Prep for Fund Manager workshop 3rd generation, has shared insights on the purposes and goals of the collaboration with KH Academy.
The chief states that the partnership aims to develop students who are well-prepared to enter the investment industry. KAsset contributes to teaching classes on the overall economic conditions, investment portfolio preparation guidance, and explaining different investment markets and financial types. This initiative is expected to provide students with valuable experiences, equipping them with factual preparation, practical engagement through teamwork, and professional presentation capabilities for various case studies before the evaluation committee.
“The KH Academy project is an exemplary initiative. It showcases the potential and dedication of participating students, indicating their capacity to become proficient fund managers in the future. KAsset is more than willing to continue supporting KH Academy’s endeavors in the future if the opportunity allows,” expressed Mr. Panodphol.
