Finansia Syrus Securities (FSS) has announced the launch of eight new Depositary Receipts (DRs) referencing international securities, providing Thai investors with increased access to global investment opportunities through the Thai stock market. These new DRs cover four major investment themes that play key roles in the long-term growth of the global economy: AI Semiconductor, Robotics & Industrials, Digital Content & Entertainment, and Commodities.
The newly issued DRs are designed as tools for investors wishing to diversify their portfolios with foreign assets, particularly those aligned with future growth megatrends. The DRs are tradeable on the Thai stock market via the Finansia HERO application and will be officially available for trading beginning May 8, 2026.
Under the AI Semiconductor theme, the new DRs provide investors with opportunities within the entire semiconductor industry value chain, both globally and within Japan. These are suitable for investors looking to participate in the core wave of new technology, addressing trends in both the global and Japanese semiconductor supply chains.
The GSEMI24 references the Global X Semiconductor ETF, which invests in leading global semiconductor companies involved in the development and manufacturing of processors, memory chips, as well as technology and equipment providers for semiconductor manufacturing processes.
The JPSEMI24 references the Global X Japan Semiconductor ETF, which invests in Japanese companies earning at least 25% of their revenue from the semiconductor industry.
Additionally, the DISCO24 references the stock of Disco Corporation, a major manufacturer of high-precision cutting and grinding equipment essential to semiconductor and electronics production, with a primary customer base of chip manufacturers worldwide.
For the Robotics & Industrials theme, these DRs reflect investment opportunities arising from Japan’s structural economic transformation, where automation, robotics, and AI technologies are crucial to addressing labor shortages and improving industrial productivity.
Offerings in this group include HITACHI24, tied to Hitachi Ltd, which provides integrated industrial and technological solutions—spanning energy systems, industrial machinery, electronics, and infrastructure—with a strong record of integrating technology into business and government solutions globally.
JPROBOAI24, meanwhile, references the Global X Japan Robotics & AI ETF, which invests in Japanese firms engaged in robotics and AI, focusing on advanced automation, software, data processing, and digital infrastructure.
The Digital Content & Entertainment theme leverages Japan’s strengths in soft power, covering industries such as gaming, animation, e-sports platforms, and intellectual property (IP) that can generate revenue from international streaming and licensing.
The JPANIME24 references the Global X Japan Games & Animation ETF, investing in Japanese companies across the gaming and animation ecosystem, from game developers, e-sports platforms, hardware manufacturers, to manga and animation content producers.
KONAMI24 references shares of Konami Group Corporation, a global leader in digital entertainment—spanning mobile games, console games, card games, fitness, and gaming machines—with renowned IPs such as Yu-Gi-Oh!, Metal Gear, and Silent Hill.
In the Commodities theme, this DR enables exposure to global commodities, particularly oil, a macro-driven asset class, thus offering investors a way to diversify into assets with different movement characteristics from equities.
The OIL24 references the Global X S&P Crude Oil Futures ETF, which invests in WTI crude oil futures contracts to mirror the performance of the S&P GSCI Crude Oil Enhanced Index Excess Return.
All eight DRs—GSEMI24, JPSEMI24, DISCO24, HITACHI24, JPROBOAI24, JPANIME24, KONAMI24, and OIL24—will be available for trading through the Finansia HERO platform starting May 8, 2026.
Finansia stated that the launch of this new suite of DRs reflects its ongoing commitment to financial innovation, making international investment more accessible to Thai investors with the central belief that “the world of investment knows no boundaries.”
