First fund manager applies UN’s principles of responsible investment

A local fund manager in Ho Chi Minh City, Anpha Capital Company, has announced its new strategy in line with the United Nations Principles of Responsible Investment.

Anpha Capital, the first in Vietnam to implement the principles, will integrate the environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) issues into investment analysis, decision-making processes, and ownership policies.

The company will set up a responsible investment fund, to serve both international and local investors.

It will also introduce the Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) Index of Vietnam with aim of contributing to creating a more transparent and equitable environment for investment and management activities.

Anpha Capital now manages two funds, namely the Vietnam Equity Holdings and Vietnam Property Holdings, which are listed on the Frankfurt stock exchange.
