The VN Diamond Index, launched on November 18, 2019, is an important index reflecting the fluctuations of 18 Vietnamese Diamond stocks. The biggest difference between the VN Diamond Index and other indexes comes from the FOL (Foreign Ownership Limit) coefficient, reflecting the ratio of foreign investors' shares holding compared to their share holding limit ratio.

Up to now, the capitalization scale of the VN Diamond index has reached more than 50 billion USD, accounting for 1/3 of the total market size. The stocks in the VN Diamond index are almost full of foreign room, foreign investors will find it very difficult to own these attractive stocks. Therefore, the establishment of ETF funds simulating the VN Diamond index will help foreign investors have the opportunity to buy more of the above stocks in a different form. Domestic investors will also have another potential investment option from these ETF funds.

Currently, the VN Diamond index is used as a reference for the KIM Growth VN Diamond ETF Fund of KIM Vietnam Fund Management Company Limited (KIM).

According to Mr. Yun Hang Jin, Chairman of the Board of Members of KIM, "We have full confidence in the development of the Vietnamese financial market and believe that Vietnam will soon be upgraded from a frontier market to a secondary emerging market. The decision to establish the KIM Growth VN Diamond ETF Fund is part of the preparation to welcome foreign capital back to the Vietnamese market, especially investment capital from the Korean market."

KIM was established with 100% ownership of the parent company - Korea Investment Management Co., Ltd - one of the leading asset management companies in Korea with an asset management scale of more than 35 billion USD as of March 31, 2024. In Vietnam, KIM is also one of the companies with the largest asset management scale with an asset scale of 1.3 billion USD as of March 31, 2024.
