Techcom Securities’ (TCBS) leadership, with cutting-edge vision and execution muscle, has changed the course of the company over the last nine years since Nguyen Xuan Minh became chairman of the Board of Directors. VIR’s Tuan Khanh sat together with Minh and talked about his path, vision, and success story.

About 15 years ago, Minh decided to quit his job at Franklin Templeton Investments – a large fund management company in Singapore – to return to Vietnam to set up a business. With many years of experience, he saw untapped potential in emerging frontier markets that were in their nascent stage of development.

“Vietnam is a fast-growing economy with a young and literate population. The country had investment needs but did not have many options at that time. People mainly put their savings in gold, dollars, or real estate. Access to financial products was limited so this prompted me to return to Vietnam to build something for myself and the society rather than merely continuing to work as a salaried worker abroad,” Minh said.

Upon returning to Vietnam, he co-founded Vietnam Asset Management Ltd. to mobilise foreign capital investments in Vietnam. He built this company for eight years before one conversation changed the course of his career and his life.

This conversation led him to take on the role of chairman of the Board of Directors at Techcom Securities and head of Techcombank (TCB) Investment Banking Division.
