This was one of eight awards presented by Alpha Southeast Asia to financial institutions in Vietnam this year.
Following a review of more than 200 submissions from locally-incorporated brokerages, commercial and investment banks, and a select number of foreign banks from throughout the region, the award winner was selected based on a combination of criteria – evaluated over the entire period from 2007 until present.
The criteria covered the firms’ comprehensive financial advisory capabilities in the equity market, bond market, and mergers & acquisitions, as well as other corporate advisory services.
Other factors, such as the value and volume of transactions, the role played in the structuring of deals and financing arrangements, the types of investors, and customer feedback, were also carefully considered during the evaluation.
Alpha Southeast Asia is the first and only institutional investment magazine purely focused on and totally devoted to Southeast Asia.
This year is the 10th Annual Best Financial Institutions Awards honouring the best securities firms and investment banks, and is the first year in which institutions have been honoured for their achievements over a period of 10 years – from 2007 to the present.
This is the third consecutive year in which VPBS has received a prestigious award from Alpha Southeast Asia.
In 2014, VPBank Securities won the ‘Best Bond House in Vietnam’ award, and in 2015 was named ‘Best Investment Bank in Vietnam’.
