investment funds are still pinning their hopes on Vietnam ’s stock market

Hanoi (VNA) – Despite anticipated difficulties due to changes in the macro
economy, investment funds are still pinning their hopes on Vietnam ’s stock
market in 2011.

According to the General Director of MB Capital Investment Fund (MBCapital) Phan
Anh, the strong policies and measures taken by State agencies to make the market
transparent, improve the legal system, allow the launching of new products and
prevent market manipulation have helped increase investors’ trust in Vietnam
’s stock market.

He said he believed that the macro economy in 2011 will be more stable, which will
help the stock market to post a higher growth rate, possibly as much as 20 percent,
despite challenges from interest rate, the exchange rate and inflation.

General Director of Vietnam Asset Management (VAM) expects his company’s business
performance will be greatly improved as Vietnam is still considered an
attractive investment destination for foreign investors, thanks to its stronger
economic growth and the global economic recovery. Additionally, the prices of stocks
on the domestic markets are relatively cheaper than in other regional markets.

The flow of foreign capital is showing signs of recovery, the market is more
transparent with higher quality goods and is experiencing an increasing domestic
demand. This will enable the market to continue to develop sustainably and turn it
into one of the fastest and most impressive recovery’s in the world, said
Louis Nguyen, the General Director of Saigon Asset Management (SAM).

Believing that the market will continue with its upward trend, the leaders of
investment funds are revealing their future development plans.

A representative from VinaCapital, Andy Ho, said that the fund will invest in
shares of large and major companies as well as government bonds.

Dragon Capital, meanwhile, will target listed companies and those waiting to be
listed plus equitised State-owned enterprises.

The fund will also focus its investment on consumer goods, food, software and the
financial services sector.

SAM will focus on blue-chip shares and small and medium-sized enterprises with
potential, while Indochina Capital’s ICL Holdings 1 and 2 are keen on hotels,
resorts, golf courses and high end apartment building projects./.
