Vietnamese regulators have reportedly accepted exchange traded funds to launch on the local stock market, long after other foreign markets have traded them. Analysts believe that the release of these funds will bring value to the local Vietnamese stock market while mobilizing capital.

The volatility of the stock market is conducive to investors needing and wanting a fund that allows them this freedom. [Vietnam ETF Tries to Breakout]
