Nguyễn Xuân Minh is currently the CEO & CIO for Vietnam Asset Management and is one of the original founders. He formed Vietnam Asset Management with co-founders John Lyn and Nguyễn Hoài Thu in 2006 to take advantage of the investment potential offered as a result of Vietnam's booming economic growth.

Early Years

Minh was born February 3, 1971 in Hanoi, Vietnam during the peak of the Vietnam War. In 1976 after the end of the war, Minh's parents who served as engineers for the Northern regime during the war moved the family back to their home town of Ho Chi Minh City. Minh's most notable childhood achievements include winning the Ho Chi Minh City Judo Competition and the First Prize - Ho Chi Minh City High School Physics Competition, both in 1986.

In 1989, Minh went to Russia under a full government scholarship to study at the Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas and received a Master of Science degree in Oil & Gas - Mechanical Engineering in 1994. Soon after, Minh received another Master's degree in Applied Finance and Investment from FINSIA in Australia.

Professional Career

Minh joined Franklin Templeton Investments under Dr. Mark Mobius's Global Emerging Market Group in 1997. He started as the Chief of Templeton's Vietnam representative office. Minh was moved to Singapore one year later, where he eventually rose to the position of Senior Vice President. In 2005, Minh was co-managing two of Templeton's Asian equity funds, whose yearly performance ranked 2nd and 8th amongst a large peer group of managed Asian investment funds according to Micropal. Near the end of 2006, Minh left Templeton to help found Vietnam Asset Management and continues on in his role as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer for the company.

In addition, Minh received his charter as a Chartered Financial Analyst in 2003. He is also a member of the Vietnam Association of Financial Investors (VAFI). Minh has held positions as a board director for several Vietnamese public and private companies.
