Following a historic breakout in 2025, the Premia Vietnam ETF rallied a stunning 73% (total return in USD NAV) in 2025, while the broad market also rallied 39%.

These reforms offer unprecedented policy support for the private sector. And the mandate to nurture 20 globally competitive large private firms provide strong cases for revaluation opportunities for large cap leaders. In this article, we will explore why Vietnam remains a compelling market in 2026 amidst imminent FTSE Emerging Market upgrade. Our Premia Vietnam ETF—with its focus on private sector champions and Small-Mid caps—is distinctively positioned to capture the specific beneficiaries of these structural shifts.

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.
