Vietnam gets its first private defined contribution plan
Dominic Scriven, executive chairman and co-founder of Dragon Capital VietFund Management
Dragon Capital VietFund Management, a Ho Chi Minh-based money management firm, has launched Vietnam s first private sector retirement savings vehicle.
The defined contribution plan, with government tax incentives for employees and employers alike, offers savers three fund options a relatively high-risk 50-50 split between equities and bonds, a 65% bond-35% stock mix and a conservative 80% bond-20% stock mix.
Savings can be withdrawn tax-free upon reaching retirement age, currently 62 for men and 60 for woman.
Life insurers in Vietnam have had some success selling savings products in recent years but those heavily regulated offerings invest almost exclusively in government securities, Dominic Scriven, executive chairman and co-founder of Dragon Capital VietFund Management, said in an interview.

Strict virus controls a boost for investment appeal vs peers Two free trade deals in 2020; manufacturers lured from China Vietnam funds cite ease in attracting foreign investment
HANOI, Jan 7 (Reuters) - Vietnam’s success in curbing the coronavirus so far, while its Southeast Asia neighbours struggle, is helping the country power ahead in economic growth and attracting funds, foreign investors, experts and analysts say.
Its strength in containing the pandemic saw it build on the foundations of two free trade agreements signed in 2020, also outpacing peers in luring manufacturers moving production out of China because of the Beijing-Washington trade war. Vietnam was one of the world’s few countries to record growth last year - well down on 2019, but still a 2.9% expansion.
