*Investment Career Opportunity in Vietnam*

Title: Director Equity Investments
Reporting: Managing Director and CIO of Equities Division
Commitment: Minimum two years
Salary: US$12,500 monthly net of Vietnam personal income taxes
Bonus: Discretionary each year but highly competitive

*Job Qualifications*

Current or recent MBA graduate with several years experience in private equity, leveraged buyouts, or buy side investment banking. Deal structuring skills are important so a pure public equities asset management skill set will not work. Vietnamese speaking is a plus but not a necessity. However, we will deeply question any candidate’s desire and commitment to move to Vietnam if they do not have a natural tie to the country. MBA and CFA not necessary but all are a plus. Our culture is a young, dynamic, deeply committed and hard working culture. Personality and cultural value fit will play a large role in our decision.

* Job Description

We are looking for a director specializing in fundamental equity investing with deal structuring capabilities. This director would work with our existing team comprised of 4 directors and about 45 staff members (out of over 300 in the firm across all divisions and businesses). Our equity fund management team manages approximately US$600 million in unleveraged equity in the Vietnamese market. It's a long only equity market with deals that fall generally into two spheres. The first is export oriented where we invest in natural resources, agricommodities, acquacommodities, and the manufacturing space. The second and larger category is domestic consumption which includes services, transportation, tourism, retail, consumer products, and food & beverage. Our structures range, in order of frequency, from private equity, state owned privatizing equity, semi-public equity, listed equities, and also foreign-direct investment equity. We are also beginning to see more opportunities for structured products such as convertibles and capital securities.

These founding partners have been living and investing in Vietnam since the early 1990s and were complimented by the addition of Tung Kim Nguyen as the Group’s third partner in 2002. The resulting 37 years of combined partnership experience and lifelong pursuit of investment and financial services activities have shaped Indochina Capital into one of Asia’s most entrepreneurial and rapidly growing financial services firms focused on Vietnam.
