KH Academy organized the closing ceremony for the 5th ‘Prep for Financial Advisor,’ a career preparation program for aspiring financial advisors, including a scholarship award of 50,000 baht to the winning team of the investment plan presentation workshop and certificate presentations to 56 graduates.
Representatives from PrimeStreet Advisory (Thailand) and Asset Pro Management (APM) attended as witnesses to this first step toward a financial and investment career for university students.
Mr. Burapha Sanguanwong, Founder of KH Academy, led the executive team at the closing ceremony of the ‘Prep for Financial Advisor’ program, held on Thursday, February 12, 2026, at KH Academy Ratchathewi Campus, Bangkok.

Dr. Somphob personally presented certificates to all 56 graduates from 6 universities: Chulalongkorn University, Thammasat University, Kasetsart University, Srinakharinwirot University, University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, and Fudan University (China). He also gave an address, sharing three essential principles for those aspiring to succeed as professional financial advisors or investment bankers:
“First, you must be resilient and tenacious, especially in times of economic recession. Second, give importance to seniority, emphasizing respect for experience and learning, since strong organizations rely on teamwork and growth in line with responsibility to build credibility in the profession. Finally, and most importantly, is ethics and integrity. The financial sector is constantly challenging—those who stand firm with transparency are the ones who will have a proud and honorable career path,” said Dr. Somphob.
