This is the first monthly fall in VEIL’s NAV since June this year.
The average discount rate of the fund was 18.8% to the market prices.
MSN, the biggest stock in VEIL’s investment portfolios, increased 4.3% thanks to the successful buying offer of 51% stake in Vinacafé Bien Hoa JSC. (VCF), the biggest local instant coffee producer.
While other stocks including ACB, FPT, HAG, HPG, SJS and SSI continued to fall between 1% and 17% in which SJS plunged the most due to some legal issues related to its key project – Nam An Khanh.
Of note, VEIL no longer invested in bonds while this activity accounted for 2% of its NAV in the previous month.
