StoxPlus’ training workshop to address growth traps in Vietnam’s stock markets

The workshop, to take place in Ho Chi Minh city on January 12, 2016 and then in Hanoi on January 15, 2016, is the first in the company’s training workshop series for StoxPlus’ FiinPro® platform subscribers. The workshops are among StoxPlus’s value added services to help FiinPro® users in investment research, stock screening and generating investment ideas.

As the world’s economic growth is forecasted to remain sluggish in the next couple of years, investors often chase good investment opportunities and pay heftier premiums for growth because of its scarcity. Vietnam emerges as a sweet spot as it is among a few economies which can deliver a GDP growth of 6 per cent or higher per annum. Vietnamese companies have been showcasing growth plans in an effort to raise capital. However, growth always comes with a price and only sustainable growth will reward investors with long-term success.

With an in-depth and comprehensive financial database of Vietnamese companies, FiinPro® has uncovered useful metrics to help customers evaluate the quality of growth. This training workshop aims to (1) Equip attendants with a structured, practical approach to avoid growth traps in listed Vietnamese companies; (2) Discuss useful financial metrics as early flags of earnings manipulations or financial distress; and (3) Optimise customers’ experience with FiinPro®.

Experienced investment professional Dao Phuc Tuong is going to be the speaker. Tuong has more than 18 years of experience in banking, management consulting and investments and has studied a dozen of Vietnamese and regional companies with accounting frauds. Currently, Tuong is a portfolio manager of APS Asset Management, a boutique investment firm with a total $3.1 billion in assets under management in Singapore. Tuong graduated with a Master of Commerce (Finance) degree from the University of New South Wales, Australia. He is currently a member of the Chartered Financial Analysts (CFA), Singapore Society.

Registration for the conference is available until January 6, 2016. For FiinPro® clients, each subscription ID of FiinPro® will be granted with a seat for free-of-charge. For non-FiinPro® customer, the entrance fee is VND2 million/person, excluding the 10 per cent VAT.
