The Development Bank of Japan (DBJ) and SSI Securities Corporation on Tuesday announced the launch of the Japan–Vietnam Capital Fund, a Việt Nam-focused investment fund co-managed by DBJ and SSI Asset Management (SSIAM), marking a new milestone in their two-decade partnership.

The launch comes as FTSE Russell upgrades Việt Nam to Secondary Emerging Market status and the country marks 30 years of the State Securities Commission, reflecting progress in market standardisation, integration and quality improvement.

The fund aims to channel high-quality capital into Việt Nam’s equity market, targeting listed firms with strong governance, clear growth strategies and long-term potential. It combines DBJ’s global investment standards with SSIAM’s local market expertise.

The milestone also highlights SSIAM’s growth, with assets under management reaching US$1 billion, underscoring its ability to attract foreign capital.

SSI continues to act as a bridge between Việt Nam’s capital market and global investors. As of December 31, 2025, SSI reported total assets of nearly VNĐ93 trillion (around $3.6 billion) and shareholders’ equity of VNĐ31.05 trillion.
