On Monday, they signed a memorandum of understanding guaranteeing an exclusive partnership to launch new financial instruments that track indexes of blue-chip companies, including the VN50 listed on the Hanoi Stock Exchange and VN30 that seeks listing on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange.

The two entities are awaiting a listing of a new financials exchange-traded fund by February, a NH-Amundi spokesperson said. 

Under the partnership, NH-Amundi may opt to create a Vietnam-focused fund, in addition to a fund that is 1.5 times leveraged and tracks the VN30 index, launched in May 2019.

“The MOU will offer Korean investors a wider variety of options to invest in Vietnamese stock market,” said NH-Amundi Chief Executive Bae Young-hoon in a statement.

NH-Amundi is a 70:30 joint venture of NH Financial Group and French investment firm Amundi. SSI Asset Management is wholly owned by Saigon Securities, the largest brokerage house in the domestic market.
