Vietnam - Poised for further gains on reform-driven growth
insightVietnam - Poised for further gains on reform-driven growth

Vietnam stands out as Asia’s best-performing equity market in 2025, fueled by earnings recovery, policy support, and surging public investment. More importantly, Resolution 68 marks the country’s boldest reform agenda since Doi Moi—streamlining bureaucracy, empowering the private sector, and deepening capital markets—creating structural upside beyond cyclical drivers. With infrastructure projects worth over 10% of GDP, robust FDI inflows, and the potential MSCI/FTSE upgrade unlocking sizable foreign flows, Vietnam offers a rare blend of near-term catalysts and long-term growth. In this article, our Partner & Co-CIO David Lai discusses how Premia Vietnam ETF offers investors a diversified, transparent, and cost-effective vehicle that has consistently outperformed active peers—positioning portfolios to capture one of the most compelling reform-driven growth stories in emerging Asia.

What are the true implications behind this abrupt turn of tides? In this article, our Senior Advisor Say Boon Lim discusses the big drivers for potentially much higher rates and yields for this year, and areas we are spending a lot more time monitoring, as the longer-term outlook could be far worse than just a mean reversion in nominal rates and yields as we may also be in the midst of a secular mean reversion in real government bond yields and corporate credit yields.
