Edison issues review on VinaCapital Vietnam Opportunity Fund
(VOF)
VinaCapital Vietnam Opportunity Fund (VOF) is a large,
well-established Vietnam specialist investment fund, differentiated
by its focus on private deal sourcing. NAV total returns have been
particularly strong over the last three years, and are ahead of VN
Index and peer returns over the last 12 months, when markets have
been volatile. VOF's share price discount to NAV has narrowed, but
it remains wider than the peer group average. The board has taken
steps to address the discount, moving VOF's listing to the LSE's
Main Market in 2016, starting a dividend programme in 2017, and
agreeing a reduced management and incentive fee structure in 2018.
The board recommends that shareholders vote against discontinuation
at the forthcoming AGM, highlighting the promising outlook
suggested by market fundamentals, as well as the manager's strong
track record.
After briefly widening to 25.6% in October 2018, VOF's share
price discount to NAV has narrowed to 13.7%, which is lower than
its 18.9%, 20.6% and 21.5% averages over one, three and five years,
respectively. VOF started paying regular dividends in 2017, and its
2.4% yield is the highest in the peer group.
