I reckon it is a good news for local fund managers. On the other hand, it also means M'sia and Thailand fund managers are accessible by local investor, thus more competition.

there will be a legal gap if the language is still available in english only. When things happens, people will say I dont read English. Then fund distributors will kenna. Like HL Finance & Minibonds type of situations.
