Hanoi (VNA) – The Development Bank of Japan (DBJ) and SSI Securities Corporation on February 3 announced the official establishment of the Japan–Vietnam Capital Fund, a Vietnam-focused investment fund co-managed by DBJ and SSI Asset Management (SSIAM), marking a new milestone in their two-decade strategic partnership.

The launch comes at a pivotal moment for Vietnam’s capital market, as FTSE Russell has upgraded Vietnam to Secondary Emerging Market status and the country marks the 30th anniversary of the State Securities Commission, reflecting significant progress in market standardisation, integration, and the enhancement of the quality of the capital market.

Against this backdrop, cooperation between Vietnamese and foreign financial institutions, particularly those from Japan, is playing an increasingly critical role in mobilising middle- and long-term capital, strengthening corporate governance and spreading international best practices in the domestic market.

The Japan–Vietnam Capital Fund is designed to channel high-quality capital into Vietnam’s equity market, focusing on listed companies with strong governance, clear growth strategies and long-term investment potential. The fund combines DBJ’s institutional investment expertise and global standards with SSIAM’s deep local market knowledge and execution capabilities.

The fund’s launch also marks a major milestone for SSIAM, whose assets under management have reached 1 billion USD, highlighting its growing credibility and capacity to attract international capital into Vietnam.

With its strong financial base, Saigon Securities Inc. (SSI) continues to serve as a key bridge between Vietnam’s capital market and global investors. As of December 31, 2025, SSI’s parent company reported total assets of nearly 93 trillion VND (around 3.6 billion USD) and shareholders’ equity of 31.05 trillion VND, underscoring its ability to support Vietnam’s next phase of capital market development./.
