HCMC – Vietnam’s APG Securities has signed a memorandum of understanding with Hong Kong-based Mango Financial Limited to expand capital market activities and strengthen links with international investors.
APG said the agreement forms part of its restructuring strategy and efforts to reposition its business model toward capital market services and broader access to global funding sources.
The two sides plan to cooperate in three areas: securities brokerage, investment banking, and market development.
Under the arrangement, APG will provide brokerage services, investment advisory, and trading support in Vietnam. Mango Financial will connect domestic investment opportunities with its international investor network.
In investment banking, the firms will work together on mergers and acquisitions advisory services. They also aim to help Vietnamese companies access and list on overseas markets, including those in the United States and Hong Kong, while offering financial solutions to support business expansion.
The partnership will also explore investment opportunities in sectors viewed as having strong growth potential in Vietnam, including renewable energy, technology—particularly the artificial intelligence value chain—and pharmaceuticals, with the aim of attracting more foreign capital flows.
Nguyen Thanh Lam, deputy general manager of APG, said the signing comes as Vietnam’s stock market has recently been confirmed for an upgrade to emerging market status.
He said APG plans to continue improving transparency standards, strengthening links with global capital flows, and developing financial solutions tailored to clients and investors.
