Principles of Evaluating the Effectiveness of Investment Fund Management Activities of Asset Management Companies in Vietnam

The effectiveness of investment fund management is a crucial factor in the success of financial markets, particularly in emerging economies such as Vietnam. This study examines the principles and criteria for evaluating the management of investment funds by asset management companies operating in Vietnam’s stock market. The paper aims to explore the key elements of fund management performance assessment and analyze their applicability in the Vietnamese context.

Through a comprehensive review of existing literature, the study identifies the most common principles used to evaluate fund performance, including risk-adjusted return, asset allocation strategies, and portfolio diversification. The research also discusses the challenges and opportunities in evaluating fund management within Vietnam's evolving financial environment, considering the rapid growth and regulatory changes in the market.

The findings suggest that while traditional evaluation methods are widely applied, there is a need for more sophisticated and market-specific approaches that can better reflect the unique dynamics of the Vietnamese market. This paper provides a framework for investors, regulators, and stakeholders to assess the effectiveness of asset management companies and offers recommendations for improving the fund management evaluation process in Vietnam.
