The State Securities Commission (SSC) has warned investors about fraudsters impersonating large fund management companies.

According to the SSC, many scammers have used fund management companies' names, logos and information, such as Dragon Capital Vietnam Fund Management Joint Stock Company and VinaCapital Fund Management Joint Stock Company, to set up websites and social media accounts to access investors' assets.

SSC advises investors to check and compare information before trading or investing according to information on websites or accounts on social networks. Investors can also learn about investment services and products of fund management companies licensed by the SSC at the companies websites.

The funds have also run warnings about these fraudulent acts on the websites.

Dragon Capital manages many famous funds, investing heavily in Vietnamese banking, retail and real estate stocks.

The total scale of assets that Dragon Capital Group manages currently reaches about US$4 billion, with services and products aimed at domestic and foreign institutional and individual investors.

Some notable member funds of Dragon Capital are VEIL, CTBC Vietnam Equity Fund, and DCVFM VNDiamond ETF.
