About the event
The VEIL webinar January 2026 saw portfolio managers from Vietnam Enterprise Investments Limited (VEIL) — managed by Dragon Capital — review Vietnam’s economic performance and equity market outlook for 2026. The session covered Vietnam’s 2025 GDP growth of 8.02%, the fastest annual expansion in 15 years, along with key drivers including credit growth, FDI inflows, export performance, and the Vietnamese Dong’s trajectory against the US Dollar.
What Was Covered:
Macro Update: Vietnam’s 2025 GDP performance, inflation trends, State Bank of Vietnam monetary policy, fiscal revenue, public investment disbursement, and the outlook for double-digit growth targets in 2026
Market Upgrade Catalysts: Progress toward FTSE Russell’s Secondary Emerging Market reclassification (implementation expected September 2026) and the medium-term path to MSCI Emerging Market status
Fund Governance: VEIL’s completed tender offer, a board leadership transition, and the fund’s ongoing discount management strategy — including share buybacks that narrowed the discount from over 20% in 2024 to roughly 11% today
Sector Deep Dives: Banking, retail, and real estate — featuring portfolio holdings such as Techcombank, VPBank, Vinhomes, Mobile World, and Taseco Land
Portfolio Strategy: How VEIL is positioned around Vietnam’s two long-term growth themes — domestic consumption and infrastructure development — under Resolution 68 (private sector promotion) and Resolution 79 (SOE reform)
Live Q&A: Analyst responses on valuation, demographics, currency risk, dividend yield, and portfolio positioning
Subsequent performance is reported in VEIL’s monthly reports.
