Foreign investors who invest in listed and unlisted securities or participate in securities auctions in Vietnam must:– Obtain and register a securities trading code (the Code) with
the VSD – a foreign investor may have only one Code; and – Open an indirect investment capital account at any bank that
is authorized to provide custody and foreign exchange services.
If a foreign investor chooses to invest using a local fund manager then that fund manager will apply and register the Code for the investor.

• The foreign investor appoints a transaction representative to place the order for the foreign investor; or
• The foreign investor engages a local fund manager to manage the foreign investor's securities investment.

• A local fund manager under an investment management agreement to carry out portfolio and asset management and make investment decisions for the foreign investor (including decisions in relation to the type of securities, volume, price and trading date)
