Manulife Investment Management, Vietnam (ManulifeIM Vietnam) - a fund management company under Manulife Vietnam, has just announced its 2024 financial report with many positive results, especially the performance of Manulife open-ended funds managed by the company.

Over the 5-year period (2020 - 2024), these two funds brought in returns of 55.5% and 60%, respectively, showing stable investment efficiency in the medium and long term.

In addition to the two open-end funds above, in January 2024, ManulifeIM (VN) launched the Manulife Dynamic Investment Fund with the goal of providing stable long-term growth potential and low price volatility risk. Although only operating for one year, this fund has recorded a return of 10.5% in 2024 - a quite impressive figure for a new fund in the context of the volatile financial market last year.

According to the 2024 financial report, ManulifeIM (VN)'s after-tax profit increased by 15.5%, reaching more than VND 265 billion. Total assets managed by the company reached VND 126 trillion at original price at the end of 2024.

According to Ms. Tran Thi Kim Cuong, General Director of ManulifeIM (VN), although the economic picture last year was still volatile, thanks to a flexible investment strategy and a team of experienced experts, open-end funds and other investment portfolios managed by ManulifeIM (VN) still maintained positive performance, contributing to the overall growth of the company.

One of the factors that helps ManulifeIM (VN) open-end funds operate effectively is the strict risk management culture, which complies with Manulife Group's global standards. All investment decisions at ManulifeIM (VN) are thoroughly researched and assessed for risks in accordance with the Group's standards, with regular and periodic assessment mechanisms to ensure compliance with customers' risk appetite and long-term investment goals. " A culture of risk management and long-term vision not only helps improve transparency and discipline in investment activities, but also contributes to protecting the sustainable interests of customers when the market is volatile ," Ms. Kim Cuong shared.

Open-end funds are currently considered one of the new and attractive investment channels in Vietnam, attracting great attention from individual investors. In the context of market fluctuations, many people choose to invest in open-end funds as a solution to optimize profits without spending too much time on direct research. As of 2024, after 12 years since open-end funds were deployed in Vietnam, the number of individual investors has increased sharply compared to the initial period, reflecting the attraction and stable development of this investment channel.

Entering 2025, although the global economic situation may still be complicated, the overall picture of Vietnam's macro economy still has certain bright spots. The State sets a target of Vietnam's GDP growth in 2025 at 8% (source: GSO), at the same time, promoting institutional reform activities, streamlining the apparatus, streamlining procedures, helping to reduce business barriers for the private economic sector to achieve the target of higher economic growth in 2025 and the following years.

In addition, focusing on investment in areas such as transport infrastructure development, energy infrastructure, digital transformation, etc. are also driving forces for Vietnam's economic development in the next period. In that context, the private economic sector, especially listed enterprises, is expected to continue to grow strongly, achieve good results and potentially bring benefits to investors.
