Vietnam shares worth US$119.5 million to be liquidated in BlackRock ETF exit

US investment firm BlackRock has announced it will liquidate its iShares Frontier and Select EM ETF. About 29 percent of the fund is invested in Vietnamese stocks and cash both in the Hanoi Stock Exchange and the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange. Those investments were worth about US$119.5 million as of June 10.

This is in line with a broader exodus from Vietnam’s stock markets of foreign investors. Since the start of the year, just shy of US$1.58 billion has been withdrawn by foreign traders for a number of reasons including exchange rate pressures, higher returns elsewhere, and general uncertainty with respect to the local economy.
