If you hold Thai shares on the Stock Exchange of Thailand alongside US stocks, global ETFs and crypto, your positions are scattered across currencies, apps and brokers that were never built to talk to each other. This guide explains how Thailand investors can track everything in one THB view, what multi-currency profit and loss actually means, and where local broker apps and SSF or RMF fund statements stop short.
What is a portfolio tracker, and why do Thailand investors need one?
A portfolio tracker is a single app that holds every investment you own, across every account and currency, and shows your combined value and profit and loss in one place. For an investor in Thailand, that usually means SET-listed shares, US stocks, global ETFs and crypto living side by side.
The problem is simple. Your Kasikorn app shows your Thai stocks in THB, your US broker shows American shares in USD, and your crypto sits on an exchange in yet another screen. None of them add up to a single number you can trust.
- Local broker apps rarely show foreign holdings and crypto together.
- Values stay trapped in their native currency, so your real THB net worth is a guess.
- Dividends, cost basis and realised gains live in separate statements.
A tracker fixes the fragmentation. PortfolioTrackr supports the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), exchange code BKK, with prices in THB, and converts everything else into baht so you see one figure.
Which exchanges and indices do Thailand investors track?
The primary market is the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), based in Bangkok and identified by the code BKK in PortfolioTrackr. It is where most retail investors hold blue chips such as PTT, CPALL, AOT and the big banks.
SET trading hours and the main index
The SET trades Monday to Friday, closed on weekends and Thai exchange holidays. The headline benchmark is the SET Index, with the SET50 covering the fifty largest and most liquid names, and the mai board hosting smaller growth companies.
- SET: main board, large and mid caps, code BKK.
- mai: Market for Alternative Investment, smaller firms.
- SET Index and SET50: the benchmarks most Thai portfolios are measured against.
Because PortfolioTrackr only checks a position while its market is open, your SET holdings are checked once a minute while the Bangkok market is open, and skipped overnight and on holidays. Crypto is checked around the clock.
What does THB pricing and multi-currency P&L actually mean?
Multi-currency profit and loss means your return has two moving parts: how the asset itself performed, and how its currency moved against the Thai baht. If you own AAPL in USD, your THB result depends on both Apple's price and the USD to THB rate.
This is the single most misunderstood part of global investing for Thai residents. A US position can rise in dollars yet shrink in baht if the THB strengthens, and the reverse is just as true.
- Asset move: the stock or coin going up or down in its own currency.
- Currency move: USD, EUR or SGD shifting against the THB.
- Combined THB P&L: what you actually gained or lost as a baht-based investor.
PortfolioTrackr supports 67 currencies and converts every holding to a base currency of your choice, so a Bangkok investor can set THB as home and see Thai shares, US ETFs and BTC-USD in one honest total. For a deeper walkthrough, our guide on tracking stocks and crypto together in one app shows how the base-currency view works in practice.
How do SSF, RMF funds and Thai brokers fit into tracking?
Thailand's tax-advantaged investing centres on two fund families: the Super Savings Fund (SSF) and the Retirement Mutual Fund (RMF). Both are long-horizon vehicles designed to encourage saving, with holding-period conditions that reward patience.
SSF and RMF in plain terms
SSF and RMF are mutual-fund wrappers you buy through a broker or asset manager, and they come with conditions on how long you hold them. Investors treat them as a core of their long-term plan, often alongside directly held SET stocks and foreign assets.
- SSF: medium-to-long-horizon savings funds with a required holding period.
- RMF: retirement-focused funds meant to be held until a set age.
- Both sit in THB and are usually tracked through fund statements, not a live app.
The main local brokers
Most retail investors access the SET through bank-owned brokerages. The names a Thai investor will recognise immediately are:
- SCB (Siam Commercial Bank's brokerage arm).
- Kasikorn (KBank's securities business).
- Bualuang (Bangkok Bank's brokerage).
These apps are solid for trading Thai shares, but their reporting typically stops at what you hold with that one broker. A fund held at one house, SET shares at another and crypto on an exchange never combine into a single picture, which is exactly the gap a dedicated tracker fills.
How are dividends on foreign shares handled?
When you own foreign shares, the country where the company is listed often withholds tax on dividends before the cash reaches you. This is a withholding step, and it is separate from how you may be treated as a Thai resident.
For US-listed stocks, brokers typically ask you to complete a W-8BEN form, which certifies your non-US status and governs the withholding treatment applied to your US dividends. Completing it accurately is a routine part of opening an international account.
- Foreign dividend withholding happens at source, before the money lands.
- The W-8BEN is the standard US form for non-US individual holders.
- Rules and rates change, so confirm current specifics with your broker or a tax professional.
This guide states no specific tax rates on purpose. A wrong number in a finance article is worse than none, and withholding treatment shifts over time and by treaty. What a tracker can do is keep a clean record of the dividends you actually received in THB, which makes any later tax conversation far simpler.
What do Thai investors use today, and where do those tools stop?
Most investors in Thailand run their portfolio across three or four disconnected tools, and each one is good at exactly one job and blind to the rest. The usual stack looks like this:
- A bank broker app (SCB, Kasikorn or Bualuang) for SET shares.
- A fund platform or statement for SSF and RMF holdings.
- A foreign broker for US and global stocks and ETFs.
- A crypto exchange app for Bitcoin and altcoins.
- A spreadsheet that tries, and usually fails, to tie it all together.
The spreadsheet is where most people give up. Live prices go stale, currency conversion is manual, and one broken formula quietly misreports your net worth. Our comparison of a portfolio tracker versus a spreadsheet digs into why manual sheets break down once you hold more than a handful of positions.
Where the local tools reach their limit
Local broker apps are built to execute trades on one market, not to consolidate a global, multi-currency life. They typically cannot show your US stocks, your crypto and your SET shares in a single THB total, and they rarely offer flexible alerts across all of it.
| Capability | Local broker app | Spreadsheet | PortfolioTrackr |
|---|---|---|---|
| SET shares in THB | Yes | Manual | Yes |
| US stocks and crypto together | No | Manual | Yes |
| All values converted to THB | No | Manual | Yes |
| WhatsApp and Telegram alerts | No | No | Yes |
How does PortfolioTrackr fit a Thailand portfolio?
PortfolioTrackr consolidates Thai shares, foreign stocks, ETFs and crypto into one view with every value convertible to THB. It supports the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), code BKK, with native THB pricing, and it covers 100 stock exchanges and 67 currencies so your global holdings sit in the same account.
Getting your holdings in
You do not need to connect a broker to use PortfolioTrackr. Every plan, including the free trial, supports Smart & Easy Import by voice, text or screenshot, plus bulk CSV import and manual entry, which matters when your SSF, RMF and self-custody crypto arrive as statements rather than live feeds.
- Manual, voice, text, screenshot and CSV entry work on every plan.
- Direct broker sync with Alpaca, Bybit and Interactive Brokers works on every plan.
- 42 brokers connect through the SnapTrade bridge on a paid Pro or Lifetime plan.
- Self-custody coins are added by hand, by CSV or from a screenshot.
Each connected broker gets its own read-only portfolio, and the ALL PORTFOLIOS combined view rolls everything into a single THB figure. If you do decide to link an international account, our walkthrough on connecting a brokerage account to a portfolio tracker covers the steps.
Alerts that reach you on WhatsApp and Telegram
PortfolioTrackr offers price alerts via WhatsApp and Telegram, along with email and push on every plan. Alerts are price levels only: Target 1, Target 2 and a stop-loss level on a position, and a price above or below on a watchlist entry.
- Each level is checked once a minute while its market is open, and around the clock for crypto.
- You hear within a minute of your level being reached.
- The watchlist holds 10 tickers on the free trial and Starter, and 50 on Pro and Lifetime.
PortfolioTrackr reports status against your own levels, for example still below target or stop-loss level reached. It does not tell you what to do with your money. For a side-by-side look at how it stacks up against other apps, see our data-driven comparison of six portfolio trackers.
