Fiona Bassett (R), CEO of FTSE Russell, speaks at a meeting in Vietnam on the upgrade of the country’s stock market to secondary emerging-market status. Bui Hoang Hai, deputy chairman of the SSC, said the stock market upgrade has significantly expanded Vietnam’s access to international portfolio capital. “In recent times, major global investors such as Vanguard, BlackRock, UBS, and State Street have issued positive assessments of Vietnam’s market and stepped up engagement with regulators and leading domestic financial institutions,” Hai said. The fund is co-managed by the bank and SSI Asset Management (SSIAM), a subsidiary of SSI Securities Corporation. Recent moves by U.S. and European funds, she said, nonetheless suggest that Vietnam is edging closer to broader participation by global institutional investors.
