professional forum

Furama Resort Danang | July 1st – 3rd, 2022

A press-free event where everyone could dialogue in the most openly and constructive way

The Vietnam Investment Professionals Forum (VIPF) brings together top domestic and international fund managers and financial experts to share intelligence and create meaningful connections within the investment community. This is the largest platform in Vietnam for investment professionals, having started in 2016. It is a press-free event where Vietnam Investment Professionals could dialogue with regulator representatives in the most openly and constructive way.

After two years disrupted by Covid-19, we resume VIPF with an aim to reconnect investment professionals to share thoughts on critical issues and trends which are affecting and shaping the market in the mid- and long term, including inflation outlook, rate movement as well as how Vietnam fits in the world macro picture.
