VietNam Holding Limited ("VNH" or the "Company")
Monthly Investor Report
A report detailing the activities of the Company for the month
of February 2017 has been issued by VietNam Holding Asset
Management Limited, the investment manager of the Company.
Electronic copies of the report have been made available to
shareholders on the Company's website at
http://www.vietnamholding.com/publications/investor-reports and a
summary of the report is included below.
Investor Report Summary
February added to the market's good start to 2017, with the
local Vietnam All Share Index adding another 3.5%. It was still up
nicely in USD even after the VND's 0.8% slippage versus the USD.
VNH's NAV was up 0.7% on the month, with a lack of heavy weighting
in banks and construction hurting VNH's very recent relative
performance.
Vietnam is exhibiting the signs of a mid-stage bull market, with
lots of new stock names appearing on both the main market and the
"UpCom" over-the-counter market, record levels of foreign investor
interest in both the stock market and the real economy, and buoyant
growth metrics across broad swathes of the economy.
It is a time when fashionable stocks are capable of rushing into
the stratosphere, chased by investors of various stripes whose
level of greed is running high and fear low. For disciplined value
investors it can therefore be an occasionally frustrating time,
watching from the sideline as certain stocks advance seemingly
without cause.
First quarter 2017 GDP growth looks to be well on its way to a
c. 6% figure. Core metrics such as the index of industrial
production (up 2.4% year-on-year in the first two months) and
retail sales (up 8.7% nominal, 5.6% real) are a little sluggish at
present, but previous laggards agriculture (rice farming now
showing strong double-digit recovery) and extraction (broadly
stable) are not the drag that they were through most of last
year.
