DR01 Big Lot


Depositary Receipts (DRs) are instruments designed for investors interested in accessing foreign securities — such as stocks or ETFs listed on international exchanges. DRs offer a convenient, efficient way to invest using Thai Baht through the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), eliminating the need to open a foreign trading account. Holders of DRs receive returns and benefits as if they were directly investing in the underlying foreign securities. At Bualuang Securities, our DRs are identified by the “01” suffix."

Returns from DR01 investments come from two sources:

  • Capital Gain – profit from price appreciation
  • Dividend – subject to a 10% withholding tax, which can be claimed back, similar to Thai stocks

What is DR01 Big Lot Service?

The DR01 Big Lot service enables large-volume trades directly through a Market Maker, who manages the buy/sell quotes for DR01.
The minimum trade size is 1 million units or approximately THB 3 million, making it ideal for investors looking to take a significant position in DR01.


Who Is This Product Suitable For?

  • Investors looking to diversify into international equities or ETFs
  • Those who prefer the convenience of investing abroad using Thai Baht, without the hassle of foreign account setups or complex tax procedures
  • Investors who want to trade in real-time during Thai stock market hours (with no lunch break)

How to Open an Account

DR prices may be influenced by various factors and can deviate from the underlying asset’s price in the short term—for example, Thai investor demand, currency fluctuations, or mismatched trading hours. However, over the long term, DR prices tend to align with the performance of the underlying assets.

The best time to trade DRs is when both the Thai stock market and the market of the underlying asset are open simultaneously, allowing the liquidity provider to maintain better pricing. Additional factors may affect DR liquidity. Visit www.bualuang.co.th/dr for more details.

It depends on the dividend policy of the underlying asset. If a dividend is paid, Bualuang Securities will deduct fees and expenses before distributing the dividend to DR holders proportionally (pro-rata). Full details are provided in each DR’s prospectus.

Currently, DRs issued by Bualuang Securities do not have currency hedging. Therefore, returns from DRs are affected by the exchange rate between the Thai Baht and the currency of the underlying asset’s market (e.g., USD, HKD, etc.).

No. Capital gains from DR trading are exempt from tax. However, dividends from DRs are subject to the same tax treatment as Thai stocks, meaning a 10% withholding tax is applied without having to be included in personal income tax calculations.
