VNM vs. ETF Alternatives
VNM Description
The Vietnam ETF seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Market Vectors Vietnam Index. The Index provides exposure to publicly traded companies that, predominantly, are domiciled and primarily listed in Vietnam and which generate at least 50% of their revenues from Vietnam. The Index also includes non-Vietnamese companies that generate, or are expected to generate, at least 50% of their revenues from Vietnam, or that demonstrate a significant and/or dominant position in the Vietnamese market and are expected to grow. As such, the Fund is subject to the risks of investing in this country.

Elsewhere in the region, Malaysian stocks (EWM) add 0.88% to last week's 4.6% rally, Thai equities (THD) slip 0.3% after the country's finance minister fails to mention interest rates in a meeting with the central bank's policy-making committee, and stocks in Singapore (EWS) give back 1% of last week's gains amid profit-taking.

- Tuesday, March 26, 11:35 AM The Market Vectors Vietnam ETF (VNM +0.1%) has regained most of the ground it lost Friday when the unfolding Cyprus crisis caused markets in Southeast Asia to dive. The ETF is up ~25% since December and could retain its momentum after the country's central bank cut interest rates Monday for the seventh straight time. While economic growth remains relatively sluggish amid tight credit conditions, the country's stock market is near two year highs. Sound familiar? 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, February 20, 12:36 PM Vietnam (VNM) has been one of 2013's hottest markets, but many of its state-owned companies are so broke they can't pay their employees. It's estimated 60K "zombie workers" in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City alone show up for work without getting regular pay. "If I quit, I will lose the six months' salary that they owe me," says one. 2 Comments [Global & FX]

ETF Losers: UNG -5%; FXY -2.1%; TLT -2.1%; TAN -1.7%; JNK -1.6%. Comment! [On the Move] - Thursday, January 31, 10:45 PM Vietnam's January PMI edges up to 50.1 from 49.3 in December. "Lackluster" overseas demand led to a solid decrease in new export orders, with manufacturers reporting lower levels of new work from the EU and (to a lesser extent) China. VNM was off 4.4% today, but it's up 18.9% YTD thanks to a series of rate cuts as well as movement to allow greater foreign ownership of shares. Comment! [Global & FX]

After-hours top losers: LULU -7%. ITMN -5%. GMAN -4%. VNM -3%. UA -2%. Comment! [On the Move] - Friday, January 11, 12:54 PM What's up with the Vietnam ETF (VNM -4.2%)? It's tanking today even as the Ho Chi Minh Index - the world's best performer in a young 2013 - gained again (+0.6%) overnight. Stocks there have benefitted from a series of rate cuts, but the IMF suggests policy has been eased too quickly in the face of growing inflation pressure. 2 Comments [Global & FX]
- Sunday, December 2, 2012, 9:11 PM Vietnam's PMI moves into expansion territory for the first time in 14 months, rising to 50.5 in November from 48.7 previously. The improvement looks to have come from domestic demand as new export order volumes continue to contract. "We expect a gradual pick-up of economic activity supported by both domestic demand and a gradual recovery in China," says HSBC. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Friday, November 23, 2012, 8:23 AM Is a bell ringing in Vietnam? The country's largest investment fund is closing shop 5 years after its launch coincided with the stock market's peak.
