We believe that sound corporate governance is vital to the company’s long-term development and its shareholders' best interests. SAM adheres to the global standards of transparency and business ethics and believes those are essential to its success. Those standards apply to SAM's behavior in any relationship and working protocol with SAM's investors, customers, partners and other stakeholders. Our corporate values guide the company's practices and participate to the effective execution of our strategy.

Transparency – The company’s business in Vietnam is conducted in strict compliance with the policies set forth by the State Securities Commission and the laws of the Cayman Islands, where the company is registered. The company commits itself to pursue the highest level of consistency and accountability through its internal and external communication.

Business Ethics – SAM adheres to the principle that operating in an ethical manner is essential to its success. Additionally, abiding by the highest level of business ethics is a prerequisite to be considered as a potential investee company by the Funds under SAM’s management.

Moreover, the majority of the members of the Investment Committee are independent from SAM’s management and investment team. This independence is an enhancing factor for minimizing potential conflicts of interest. 

In order to further raise the level of its business ethics standards, SAM works closely with the Funds’ auditor, Grant Thornton, and administrative and custodian bank, Deutsche Bank, to get opinion and advice as well as make concerted efforts in ensuring the best interests and maintaining the confidence of all of SAM’s stakeholders.
