Manulife to launch Vietnam investment fund

Canadian insurer Manulife plans to raise 250 billion dong ($15.5 million) from a new investment fund in Vietnam, the government said on Tuesday.

The State Securities Commission said in a statement that Manulife would establish the Manulife Progessive Fund (MAFPF1). It planned to raise 250 billion dong by selling 25 million fund certificates with a face value of 10,000 dong each.

The statement did not provide details of when the sale would take place.
