Breaking free from preconceived notions, we embrace the resolve to shape global trends. What the times demand today is more than mere change. It is a transformation of values, a redefinition of common sense; in essence, a paradigm shift.
When few paid attention to Vietnamese equities about 20 years ago, we entered that market with the conviction of being a catalyst for a new era. Our focus on hedge funds was born from the same spirit two decades ago—the desire to support young, ambitious, and talented fund managers, and to stand at the forefront as the world advances to its next stage.
We do not engage in conventional securities sales. Instead, we aim to cultivate a distinctive field that no one else can replicate, together with a select few who share our vision. This is why we remain committed to value-driven investment banking, private banking, and private equity fundraising.
I aspire to be a light; one that continually illuminates new paths.
With this conviction as our guide, we will keep moving forward.
