Muddy Waters Asia

The world is re-orienting its relationships toward China, with FDI that would have gone to China now flowing elsewhere. Muddy Waters believes that this re-orientation creates more opportunities for investment in Vietnam than anywhere else.

For investors who can navigate the challenges of a developing market like Vietnam, the rewards can be significant.
