VOF announces inclusion in FTSE 250 Index

London – VinaCapital Vietnam Opportunity Fund Limited (LN: VOF), an investment company established to target key growth segments in Vietnam and managed by VinaCapital, today announces that VOF has been included as a constituent in the FTSE 250 Index, effective from the start of trading on 5 March 2018.

“Our entry into the FTSE 250 will help in our ongoing efforts to elevate our profile, reach a broader investor base, and reduce the discount between share price and net asset value. This process began nearly two years ago with our move to the London Stock Exchange’s Main Market in March 2016, and since then, our performance and returns have been strong. We are also proud to be the only Vietnam-focused fund that pays a dividend to shareholders,” said Andy Ho, Managing Director of VOF.
