The assets under management of securities investment funds remain modest relative to their potential, representing just 6.5% of Vietnam's GDP, compared to 21% in Thailand and 52% in Malaysia.
The number of securities investment funds in Vietnam has tripled over the past decade, from 23 in 2011 to 62 now. The scale and type of funds will continue to expand in the years to come. By 2030, the asset value of these funds is targeted to reach 10 per cent of GDP.
