VanEck Vietnam ETF Price & Performance (VNM)

Vietnam-focused exchange-traded funds suffered sharp declines after the U.S. imposed a 46% tariff on Vietnamese imports. The VanEck Vietnam ETF dropped over 10% in early trading, while the Global X MSCI Vietnam ETF tumbled by 6.5%. These moves reflect heightened investor concerns about the global impact of escalating trade tensions.123

Following President Trump's sweeping reciprocal tariffs, international stock ETFs, once seen as safe havens, are now facing significant pressure. The VanEck Vietnam ETF, previously up 11% this year, has turned negative, while broader global funds like the Vanguard Total International Stock ETF also posted losses amid fears of a slowdown.345

Despite recent volatility, institutional investors like LPL Financial and JPMorgan Chase have increased their holdings in the VanEck Vietnam ETF. The fund remains a vehicle for exposure to Vietnam's growth, but turbulent markets and tariff policies are testing investor confidence and highlighting the risks of frontier market investing.567
