Dragon Capital Vietnam veteran Tran Thanh Tan steps down as vice chairman

Dragon Capital Vietfund Management (DCVFM), a subsidiary of Vietnam-focused asset manager Dragon Capital Group, has approved the resignation of Tran Thanh Tan from his position as vice chairman, marking a major leadership transition at one of Vietnam’s oldest foreign fund management firms.

According to the company, Tan decided to step down due to health reasons and personal transition plans after more than three decades with Dragon Capital and Vietnam’s capital markets.

The resignation, effective May 26, is part of a succession and leadership transition plan that had been prepared internally over recent years, the company said.

Although leaving his executive position, Tran Thanh Tan will continue to work with the firm as a senior advisor to the board in order to support continuity in governance and strategic operations.

Tan is regarded as one of the founding members of Dragon Capital Vietnam and has played a prominent role in the development of the country’s capital market since the early stages of the stock market.

Over more than 30 years, he held multiple leadership positions within the organization while also becoming a familiar figure in Vietnam’s fund management and financial investment community.

Reflecting on his decision, Tan said the timing was appropriate to focus more on his health, personal life, and family after decades working in finance and investment.

“I deeply value the journey we have built together, from the very difficult early days of Vietnam’s capital market until today,” he said in a company statement. “I believe Dragon Capital and DCVFM will continue to grow strongly on the foundations built by many generations of leadership and employees.”

At its 2026 AGM on Wednesday, DCVFM (UPCoM: DCV) set targets of VND1.16 trillion ($44.16 million) in revenue and VND302 billion ($11.46 million) this year, up 19.3% and 158% year-on-year.
