Performance Results Table for VinaCapital’s Four Funds (Source: VinaCapital).

Note: 2022 was a period of significant decline in the entire Vietnamese stock market, with the VN-Index losing up to 32.8% of its value. Many individual investors even lost more than this figure.

It can be seen that all three open funds investing in VinaCapital’s stocks had much lower declines than the VN-Index in 2022, demonstrating the effectiveness of the fund management team in risk management and protecting investor interests.

Even the bond open fund VINACAPITAL-VFF yielded an 8% return per year thanks to its focus on investing in bonds, and it has been the best performing bond fund in Vietnam for two consecutive years.

VINACAPITAL-VESAF (VinaCapital Equity Special Access Fund)

VESAF is VinaCapital’s highest-yielding open-end fund.

In fact, in terms of response rates, VINACAPITAL-VESAF generally ranks among the best in the overall market.

VINACAPITAL-VESAF is an open-ended equity fund that invests primarily in listed small and mid-cap stocks. As a result, when the broader market falls in 2022, the individual stocks invested by the fund will also fall more sharply. However, VINACAPITAL-VESAF recovers better in 2023.

VINACAPITAL-VEOF (VinaCapital Equity Opportunity Fund)

VEOF is VinaCapital’s second-most lucrative open-end fund.

An open-ended equity fund called VINACAPITAL-VEOF typically invests in listed equities of well-known companies. Despite having a lower profitability than VINACAPITAL-VESAF, VINACAPITAL-VEOF saw a lesser decline in value in years like 2022.

VINACAPITAL-VIBF (VinaCapital Insights Balanced Fund)

VIBF has a lower return rate, compared to VINACAPITAL-VESAF and VINACAPITAL-VEOF.

This is so because VINACAPITAL-VIBF is an open-end fund that invests equally in equities and bonds because it is a balanced fund.

As a result, it is anticipated that VINACAPITAL-VIBF will have lower returns but reduced risk.

VINACAPITAL-VFF (VinaCapital Enhanced Fixed Income Fund)

VFF is the open-end fund with the highest level of safety and the most steady return rate.

Aiming to provide returns over the long term that are higher than the 12-month savings interest rate, VINACAPITAL-VFF is an open-ended bond fund that predominantly invests in listed corporate bonds and government bonds.

Investors that value security should consider this open fund.

As we can see, open-end funds that invest in stocks generate higher returns than those that only do so in bonds. Investors may still be at danger of losing money during a period of general market collapse, though.
