Established in 1994, at the time of the Mexican "Tequila Crisis", and being the only Vietnam-dedicated fund manager to survive the Asian Crisis, Dragon Capital is no stranger to adversity and challenge.

At our formation from an initial base of US$16m and eight staff, Vietnam's GDP per capita was US$227, and a stock market was six years in the future. Dragon Capital now manages US$1.4bn with a headcount in excess of 100, and Vietnam’s GDP per capita has breached US$1,000, as ports and airports teem with evidence of the country's role in international trade and investment. Vietnam is now a recognised global citizen.

Dragon Capital was established to be part of this growth, committed to seeking out investment strategies that provide long term returns, exceed the national growth rate; and do so with high regard for sustainable alignment of the interests of the country, and of our investors. Our foreign and Vietnamese professionals cover all significant markets and sectors (public and private equity, fixed income, resources, property,  clean development, and infrastructure); and all required skill sets (client service, economics, investment modeling, origination, legal, mid-office, valuation and governance).

Analysis and thought, engagement and commitment, integrity, execution and performance remain the core standards by which Dragon Capital judges itself. We have invested in nearly 100 companies, most of which were self-originated, and retain seats on 25 boards. We have become a leading governance proponent, are a trusted government partner in capital market development, and retain strong institutional links at all levels of government. Partly as a result of this, in 2003, Dragon Capital was entrusted with Vietnam’s first domestic asset management licence, in partnership with domestic giant, Sacombank.

In keeping with our founding principles, Dragon Capital's view of the future remains based on our fundamental values, and geared towards playing a continued role in the development of a great nation. The very foundation of this vision rests firmly on continuing to provide service and value to our clients and we thank you deeply for your support, patience and perseverance.

We have representative offices in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi (registered with Vietnam's SEC), and in the United Kingdom (regulated by the FSA).
