Vietnam Asset Management Ltd. (VAM) is a fund management company that primarily engages in public and private equity investment and advisory services in Vietnam. VAM enhances investor returns through rigorous fundamental analysis and due diligence practices coupled with an active bottom-up fund management style. Our proprietary VAM Company Analysis System (VCAS) is the first comprehensive in-house company analysis, portfolio management and trading system developed by a Vietnam-focused asset manager.
VAM was founded in 2006 by globally experienced investment professionals who are currently key managers in the company. Their vision in founding VAM was to create an organization that would combine the knowledge, expertise and talent they acquired while working for some of leading global financial multinationals such as Franklin Templeton Investments, J.P. Morgan, Citigroup, HSBC, Schroders Securities, DBS Asset Management, BankInvest, etc. in order to realise the superior investment opportunities that Vietnam offers. Today, the founders’ vision is realised as VAM is fully operational and producing superior results.
THE VAM ADVANTAGE
Our Place - Our focus is Vietnam
The long-term investment thesis in Vietnam is profound. The economy has grown at better than 7.5% on average per year since 2000. Demographically and politically Vietnam is becoming more attractive than China for multinationals looking to expand their production base, and is reflected in the massive amount of Foreign Direct Investments flowing into the country. With Vietnam’s low GDP per capita and large population, penetration rates for goods and services are coming from a very low base, and because of this ATF Kearney has ranked Vietnam as the #1 emerging market in terms of retail attractiveness in 2008. To any who have spent even a short period of time on the ground here, the long-term growth potential of Vietnam is abundantly clear.
Our People – Globally experienced and highly knowledgeable Vietnamese nationals
VAM’s investment management team is comprised entirely of Vietnamese nationals who account for over 20 years of combined international investment experience, and draws on many more years of investment experience through our Board of Directors. In a country where local expertise is not just recommended but is requisite, VAM is uniquely poised to combine our international standards of excellence with our deep local knowledge. Through vast personal and professional networks, we have arms that span across the whole of Vietnam.
Our Performance - It’s all about results!
VAM feels above all else, results must speak for themselves. Though VAM has only been operational for just under two years, VAM managed funds have continually outperformed our benchmark VN-Index and our peer group.
