Latest commentary from our fund manager
“I get up and nothin’ gets me down” – Van Halen, “Jump”
With over a month of zero community infections and no further COVID-related deaths recorded, the Vietnam Index (VNI) brushed off concerns of the second wave of COVID-19 communal infection that appeared in Danang in late July. Even against regional market volatility leading into September, the VNI posted another good month of performance, up 2.9% (total return, USD terms), and down just 4.6% (TR$) for the calendar year to date, versus the wider MSCI ASEAN peer group which is down 22.4% for the year. In September, the fund’s NAV per share increased 2.9% (TR$), while calendar year to date is up 8.5% (TR$), outperforming the VN Index by 13.1%.
