FTSE Vietnam ETF may heavily buy Vinhomes, sell Vingroup in upcoming reshuffle: broker
FTSE Vietnam ETF is forecast to strongly buy in several Vietnamese heavyweights such as Vinhomes, Hoa Phat, and Vietcombank in its upcoming portfolio reshuffle.
The ETF, which tracks the FTSE Vietnam Index, is forecast to delete EVN Finance (EVF) from its portfolio due to market cap disqualification and add no new stocks, Hanoi-based DSC Securities Corporation (HoSE: DSC) said in a note on Wednesday.
