Mr. Pham Ngoc Bich, Managing Director of HSC's Corporate Finance, touts Vietnam as an emerging economy with a stable government, a stable currency, and low inflation. "Global manufacturers or exporters would find Vietnam as a very competitive alternative in diverting their factories from Greater China," he said.

Mr. Pham further said, "On the backdrop of Vietnam's industrialization, fast urbanization and strong middle-class consumer spending, our market is well positioned to rapidly catch-up with our more wealthy Asian neighbors."

Mr. Bernard Pouliot, the Chairman and Executive Director of Global Alliance Partners, expressed his delight in welcoming HSC into GAP's international network.

"With the contribution of HSC we can now explore 'on-the-ground' opportunities in corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, and in local stock market trading," Mr. Pouliot said. "HSC, being one of the top players in Vietnam, offers unprecedented access to the market," he added.

Mr. Pham affirms that "HSC is able to directly and very efficiently offer numerous attractive public and private equity investment opportunities to the established network of GAP members - their clients, investors, advisors, and bankers from all over the world."
