What is VinaWealth Enhanced Fixed Income Fund (VFF)?

First of all, an open-end fund is the type of fund where several investors with the same goal contribute to. It does not have a definite term and investors may join or leave the fund any time. As this is an indirect investment solution, you will receive fund certificates instead of stocks. The fund would be managed by a professional fund management company and used to invest in either stocks or bonds.

Bonds are a popular type of securities in both Vietnam and international markets. Investing in bonds mean the investors are lending money to either the government or a business. Stability and safety are the main benefits of bonds compared to other types of investments.

VFF is a bond open-ended fund with the objective of generating stable, low risk returns in the medium term (1-3 years). Per regulations, VFF must invest at least 80% of the fund’s assets into fixed-income instruments, including government bonds, government-guaranteed bonds, municipal bonds, corporate bonds, valuable papers, and bank deposits. The fund may invest up to 15% of assets into listed equity. VFF’s performance benchmark is the average 3-month deposit rate of Vietnam’s 4 state-owned banks (Vietcombank, Vietinbank, BIDV, Agribank).

Regarding operational objectives, VFF aims to maximize investment returns, including interest and growth of the investment. Through dynamic management, VFF will create an investment portfolio with low risks and ensure bonds with good prices are purchased and sold at a suitable period of time.
