Home to nearly 100 million people – half below the age of 35 – Vietnam has one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Rapid urbanization – the fastest in Asia – and an expanding middle class eager to improve their lives are contributing to a robust domestic consumption story that helps propel economic growth.
Vietnam is quickly becoming a manufacturing hub in the region, with many of the world’s leading manufacturers moving their production to the country, benefitting from competitive wages, an educated workforce, and a stable government that has signed one the greatest number of free trade agreements in Southeast Asia.
As Vietnam’s only multi-disciplinary investment manager, we are uniquely positioned to create value and share the opportunities and benefits of the country’s growth across every asset class.
Singapore has long served as a gateway for investing in Southeast Asia thanks to its independent and efficient judiciary, a conducive tax system, and business-friendly laws and regulations. Today, the city-state is one of the world’s leading financial centers, with a stable government that continues to create a welcoming environment for fund managers and other global businesses.
