Vietnam Enterprise Investments Ltd - invests in listed equities in Vietnam - Director Sarah Arkle buys 10,304 shares at average GBP5.75, worth GBP59,247, on Monday. Arkle now has 20,000 shares. Vietnam Enterprise Investments on Tuesday says its third-quarter return was 9.3%, beating the Vietnam Index return of 7.9%. On a rolling one-year basis, the company's return is 13.5%, versus 12.8% for the index.

"The implications of Donald Trump's re-election [to US president] for Vietnam's trade-driven economy are complex, with a potentially accelerated shift in US economic policy toward national competitiveness likely to inject volatility and uncertainty into emerging markets," says Tuan Le, lead portfolio manager. Returns from Vietnam equities may lag earnings growth as a result, he says. "While Vietnam's economic and trade outlook remains relatively positive, supported by pro-growth domestic policies, the potential strengthening of the dollar could increase foreign selling in emerging markets in favour of US equities. Emerging markets, including Vietnam, may continue to see valuation discounts, as was the case during Trump's previous term."
