Dragon Capital's Reconstruction Fund Secures $50M Funding

Dragon Capital's reconstruction fund has successfully secured $50,000,000 in new investment capital from investors. This capital infusion underscores investor confidence in Dragon Capital Group, a prominent Vietnam-focused asset manager boasting over $6 billion in assets under management (AUM). For over 30 years, Dragon Capital Group has been instrumental in Vietnam's financial development, establishing itself as the country's largest independent fund manager. The group, which is 65% employee-owned, serves a diverse global client base including high net worth individuals, family offices, pension funds, and sovereign wealth funds, and has been a pioneer in shaping Vietnam's capital markets and corporate governance standards. Known for its long-term, quality investment strategy with an emphasis on strong corporate governance and sustainable growth, Dragon Capital leverages Vietnam's largest research team and its proprietary IRIS platform to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns. The group's portfolio includes flagship funds such as the Vietnam Enterprise Investments Limited (VEIL), a closed-end fund listed on the London Stock Exchange with over $2 billion AUM, and the Vietnam Equity (UCITS) Fund (VEF), the first actively managed UCITS Fund in Vietnam. The reconstruction fund specifically targets opportunities contributing to Vietnam's ongoing economic development. The $50,000,000 raised will be strategically deployed by Dragon Capital's reconstruction fund. This significant capital injection will enable the fund to pursue its mandate of investing in key sectors and projects vital for Vietnam's sustained growth and recovery initiatives. While specific deployment details were not disclosed, the funds are expected to support investments aligned with the nation's economic priorities, reinforcing the group's commitment to fostering responsible investment and adherence to global ESG standards, a principle Dragon Capital has upheld as carbon neutral since 2005 and a signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment. This successful funding round positions Dragon Capital's reconstruction fund to further contribute to Vietnam's economic trajectory. The additional capital is poised to strengthen the fund's capacity to identify and invest in high-potential opportunities, solidifying Dragon Capital's enduring role in driving innovation and sustainable development within the Vietnamese financial landscape.
