If the net position from the MAI were included, foreign investors were net sellers of 26.10 billion baht during 2017, against a 78.5-billion-baht net buy position in 2016. Institutional investors were net buyers of 103.6 billion baht in 2017, versus net sales of 8.7 billion baht in 2016, while brokers continued their buying spree at 16.7 billion baht, albeit at a slower pace from 25.4 billion baht in 2016. Even though foreign investors have been net sellers of more than 26 billion baht in 2017 and nearly 78 billion baht net buy position in 2016, they were net sellers of nearly 157 billion baht in 2015. However the story is very different with some of companies trading on the bourse. The 46 IPO shares' fundraising size combined for 106 billion baht in 2017, up substantially from 52.8 billion in the previous year.
