Considering options for future strategy

VinaLand (VNL) is a closed-end fund set up in 2006 to invest in property development in Vietnam. Following a difficult period for the country’s real estate market, an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) in November 2012 saw shareholders vote in favour of a three-year programme of divestment and realisation, which was extended by a further year at an EGM in November 2015. With the Vietnamese property market now more buoyant, VNL is well advanced towards its 12-month target of $165m of realisations and has recently made a capital distribution of $35m. The fund’s board, in consultation with shareholders and the manager, is continuing to develop options for a new strategy for a new term that would commence at the EGM likely to be held in November 2016.
