That’s also incorrect amt.

There was a bear phase (ALL markets have bear phases) that ended in November 2022 and that fall was from the previous 2021 long term peak. Some of us who have followed events and Vietnam market for many years used that dip to top up our holdings in the likes of VOF and VNH. The main Vietnam index is still 12% below the all time high. It’s not “way off the previous peak.”

Instead of posting rubbish why don’t you do the obvious and LOOK at the Vietnam Index charts to see FACTS for yourself?

I posted the link for a Vietnam chart. Why not LOOK at it and see for yourself how well the Vietnam market has done?

Looks like property in HCMC is picking up now. That had been the lagging region.



Rising prices are kickstarting new property developments across Vietnam. VOF's property bias should benefit from that in due course. Meanwhile, NAV is holding up very well to recent profit-taking, at 620p, with the market up again today so far, but VOF shares are not keeping up. The discount has expanded to over 21%.

Has anybody any insight into why share buy-backs have restarted after 2 months off? Is it likely to be because the recent rising share price made it difficult to meet the parameters set?

VinaCapital Vietnam Opportunity Fund Limited (LSE: VOF) commences share repurchases on December 7, 2023, under the program mandated by the shareholders in the Annual General Meeting held on December 6, 202. As per the mandate, the company is authorized to repurchase up to 14.99% of its issued share capital. The minimum price which may be paid for an ordinary share is $0.01 and the maximum price which may be paid will not exceed the higher of 105% above the average of the middle market quotations for the five consecutive dealing days ending on the dealing day immediately preceding the date on which the purchase is made and the higher of the price quoted for the last independent trade and the highest current independent bid.

It's been edging up again. With Friday's market rise and this morning's small dip in the share price, the discount might have gone over 20% again, rather more than the historic average of around 15%.



Economy booming again thanks to near record low interest rates?



Total revenue of the top five platforms, including Shopee, TikTok Shop, Lazada, Tiki and Sendo, reached more than VND71 trillion ($2.79 billion), an increase of 79% over the same period last year.

According to a recent report by Metric, more than 766 million items were sold on these platforms in the first quarter, up 83%...


...The report pointed out that Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City took the lead in revenue and volume, accounting for 70%. However, e-commerce is no longer the playground of sellers in major cities but is spreading to localities.

I have been looking back at the five year VOF chart and comparing it with the Vietnam Index and VNH.

All three registered big falls in Sept/Oct 2022 when I assume news of the fraud first appeared. VOF and the Index have recovered since then, although both are still well off their pre Sept 2022 peaks. VOF has I think been more stable than the index. VNH on the other hand has surged way past its previous levels. I am fairly relaxed about VOF as an investment, but it represents only 1.4% of my portfolio. I would be a bit more nervous of VNH I think.

I suspect the seller may be the largest share holder who voted in favour of resolution 14.

The board have laid out the reasons for not tendering -

With Resolution 14 – that the Company should cease to continue as currently constituted – the Company’s
second largest shareholder, representing approximately 23% of the votes cast at the AGM (11% of the total
issued share capital), voted in favour. I had met representatives of the shareholder prior to the AGM who
indicated that they wanted to see the Board introduce a performance conditional tender mechanism (“PCTM”).
I presented arguments why the Board believes that a PCTM would not be in the Company’s or the other
shareholders’ interests but the shareholder was not persuaded and voted against the Board’s
recommendation. In accordance with the AIC Code, the Board has reflected further and its views on a PCTM
are set out below.
The principle underlying a PCTM is that if the performance of an investment company falls below a set level
over a particular period, the Board will allow shareholders to tender a proportion of their shares at or close to
NAV. In the case of VOF (and, indeed, the vast majority of other investment companies) the shares are likely
to be trading at a wider discount than would be offered in the tender so, were this to happen, the tender would
likely be fully subscribed. The reasons that the Board does not think that a PCTM is appropriate for VOF can
be summarised as follows:
• The most relevant benchmark which is available in Vietnam is the VN Index. This is not representative
of all of the opportunities available for investment in Vietnam (for example 10 very large companies
make up 42% of the VN Index). Given the concentration of large companies, the index can show
volatility as a result of specific issues with one or more of its constituents.
• VOF’s portfolio is made up of unquoted investments as well as quoted shares. Consequently, even if
the VN Index was representative of all quoted companies in Vietnam, VOF’s performance would still
differ by virtue of the unquoted elements whose performance would not correlate with the VN Index.
As a result of these two factors, the Board does not generally benchmark the Investment Manager’s
performance against the VN Index.

Since the last stockmarket high two years ago, GDP has grown about 10% or so and it seems to have picked up even more recently. The VN index reached a high of close to 1500, fell back to 1000, and is now just through a resistance point at 1280. Basically, the tailwind of very strong economic news seems to strongly suggest there will be a new assault on the 1500 high, barring any black swans.

Meanwhile, the VOF share price looks like its not read any economic news for 6 months and NAV is at an exceptional discount of 23%+. When will it decide to have a catch-up and return to an average discount of around 15% - or an even smaller discount typical of a bull market? The share price looks to already have probably broken it's downtrend. Maybe it just needs to be a bit clearer and then the discount will revert to something more normal. .

The stockmarket closed up again today, at +0.4%. The £ is down v $ by almost 0.5% and the $ looks to be marginally down versus the VND since the calculation for yesterday's NAV. With the shares at 461p one might guess the discount is closer to 24% with this information. It just feels way too high when the market has risen over 20% in the last 5 months.

Many years ago now there was a private equity B series issue that traded 40% below the identically ranked original listing. Primarily it was just illiquid. I'm pretty sure that it was Pantheon PIP and PIPR, though it doesn't matter. I held that for about a year, and then sold out of boredom. Some time after, but not such a long time after that I didn't notice there was a significant corporate action that closed the gap entirely (see RNS below). My thesis was correct, that I would collect both the simple gain from the rising asset price, and also the big alpha upside from the discount closing. My strategy was incorrect though, I assumed the market would solve the inefficiency rapidly as the Pantheon NAV and share price were rising after a correction.
This is a somewhat similar case. It seems likely that after a correction in 2022 the Vietnamese stock market is in a new up-phase, with the next hurdle the late summer 2023 intermediate highs. If that is so then in the medium term VOF investors will capture both the beta and the alpha from the discount closing.


It was indeed Pantheon -

VOF has been a fabulous investment. I’ve held it almost from the start except for temporarily selling during the 2008 banking crisis and the 2020 covid crash. Have a look at the long term chart. It has 9 bagged from the lows.

The recent underperformance looks a great buy opportunity as VOF has way underperformed VNH and VEIL this year for no obvious reason.

I posted why VOF looks a very tempting buy now on subscription site Stockopedia and to save time have copied part of it below. There is one error in it which a poster there pointed out. The discount has been even bigger than the current 24% in the distant past, when the attractions of investing in Vietnam were even less recognised by UK investors. When eventually UK investors DO wake up to the Vietnam opportunity (perhaps not until Vietnam gets official Emerging Markets status) it’s likely that VNH, VOF and VEIL will do very well and the present discounts could well go to premiums to put an additional rocket under their share prices. BUT right now it’s VOF that looks the one to go for. Here’s that extract arguing why:-

“Why is VinaCapital Vietnam Opportunity Fund (LON:VOF) THE stunning buy now?

1. The main Vietnam index is up 11% so far this year. VinaCapital Vietnam Opportunity Fund (LON:VOF) NAV is also UP 29p since January 2nd from £5.55 then to £5.84p today.

BUT despite that NAV gain the share price is DOWN from £4.55 on Jan 2nd to £4.42. AND the discount to NAV is now exceptionally wide at 24%!!

So the share price fall this year is NOT because of poor performance. It’s mainly because the discount to NAV has widened even further.

I can’t recall in years of holding VinaCapital Vietnam Opportunity Fund (LON:VOF) the discount to NAV being SO high! If VOF was an open ended fund investors would have to pay the full £5.84 NAV price. Instead they (you?) can buy it at a bargain discount price of “25% off” £4.42p.

2. In contrast the other 2 Vietnam Trust share prices have done much better this year and unlike VinaCapital Vietnam Opportunity Fund (LON:VOF) have gone UP since Jan 2nd.

Vietnam Enterprise Investments (LON:VEIL) £5.87 now and up from £5.55 on Jan 2nd. NAV is up from £6.80 on Jan 2nd to £7.21 now. The discount is 18%.

VietNam Holding (LON:VNH) £3.75p and well up from Jan 2nd £3.25p. NAV is £3.81p. The discount is now just 3% (much lower than normal) AND unlike the other 2 VNH looks fully valued for now. The share price gain since Jan 2nd is partly because the discount has narrowed so much. That’s is SHARP contrast to VinaCapital Vietnam Opportunity Fund (LON:VOF) where the share price fall is because the discount has widened to extreme levels.

Hence VinaCapital Vietnam Opportunity Fund (LON:VOF) looking such a tempting buy now.

Finally; it might not be too much longer before Vietnam becomes officially an Emerging Market. It’s presently categororised as a frontier market. That promotion if and when it comes could see Vietnam seeing much wider investment interest. AND the current discounts could go to premiums then.

I.e there’s also a strong longer term case for investing in emerging Vietnam where more and more big Companies (like APPLE) are moving production to Vietnam, and that’s often from CHINA and TAIWAN.

I hold both VinaCapital Vietnam Opportunity Fund (LON:VOF) and VietNam Holding (LON:VNH).”

vnh used to be on a higher discount compared to both veil and vof. It has then offered several tender offer at close to NAV which have since led to its rerating to much lower discount. I first bought VNH because it was offering a bigger discount but sold out on its first tender offer and then when its share price went above its tender offer price. I think now vof is better value as vnh is too small and the fee is relatively more expensive to run, unless its fund manager outperform significantly in their stock selection.

Also to add when compare performance, one needs to account for the dividend payments by vof, but not by vnh and veil. This can add up on a longer time span, say 3 years,it can add up a difference of close to 10%.
