KH Academy has officially concluded the sixth cohort of its ‘Prep for Fund Manager’ program, designed to prepare university students for careers as fund managers. During the closing ceremony, held on Thursday, 12 November 2026, at the KH Academy Ratchathewi Campus, certificates were awarded to 49 graduates from eight leading universities across Thailand. The event was presided over by Mr. Burapha Sanguanwong, Deputy Director of Kaohoon Turakij and Founder of KH Academy.
In his congratulatory address, Mr. Burapha emphasized KH Academy’s founding mission: to harness the capabilities of the business and media communities to serve as a bridge for the younger generation. The institution aims to provide a platform for academic exchange and practical experience, broadening perspectives and building a solid foundation for professional advancement in the future.
A highlight of the ceremony was the announcement of the winner of the investment portfolio management workshop. This workshop provided participants with an opportunity to apply their newly acquired knowledge by simulating the management of a 1 billion baht investment portfolio, using financial and strategic data supplied by two listed companies—PSG Corporation (mai: PSGC) and Smothong Group (SET: SMO)—which participated in the course roadshow. Teams conducted comprehensive analyses, considering financial statements, strategic plans, competitor benchmarking, risk factors, business opportunities, ESG issues, and governance.
The participating students were divided into eight teams (A-H). The team that delivered the most outstanding performance, as determined by a panel of distinguished judges from Kasikorn Asset Management, Metha Asset Management, and MUIC, was Team D. The team received a 50,000 baht scholarship prize and was mentored by Mr. Athipat Sriprapai, Fund Manager at Kasikorn Asset Management. Members of Team D included: Sirawich Wongwaipisitkul (Chulalongkorn University), Theerisara Anusuriya and Uraporn Nunnasang (Thammasat University), Chirasak Khaengrang and Suphaphich Mitsuphun (Srinakharinwirot University), and Pachcharapon Klinpudson (University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce). The award was presented by Mrs. Wanwisa Punosoth, Co-Founder and Director of Partner Relations at KH Academy.
The sixth ‘Prep for Fund Manager’ cohort consisted of 14 intensive classes spanning over a month, covering both theoretical and practical aspects, and featuring instructors from major financial institutions including Tisco Securities, Kasikorn Asset Management, PSG Corporation, Smothong Group, Metha Asset Management, MUIC, and the Stock Exchange of Thailand.
