Staying true to the passion for finance, aspiring to create an impact investment fund in Vietnam
In a conversation with Lam, we are amazed by his burning passion for finance. From his enthusiastic sharing, active participation in activities, to his determined future plans, finance seems deeply intertwined in Lam’s life. Sharing his own aspirations, Lam aims to establish his own Impact Investment Fund – an investment model aimed at creating positive social and environmental impacts alongside financial returns. Read on to understand more about Lam’s inspiring journey!
Nurturing and developing a passion for finance
Born in Hai Phong to a family where both parents work in finance, Lam has been inspired and guided towards this field from a young age. However, not content with just familial guidance, Lam actively sought out and nurtured his personal passion for finance. During his independent exploration, Lam read books on economics and investments to gain fundamental knowledge. Furthermore, Lam proactively contacted international schools in Vietnam for advice on planning and directing activities for a finance club, ultimately founding one at his high school. This perseverance and initiative have not only deepened Lam’s understanding of finance but also fueled the growth of his passion day by day.
Continuously creating positive value for the community through diverse interdisciplinary projects
Beyond his passion for finance, Lam has pioneered the establishment of projects not only within the school but also in the Hai Phong community. Serving as the President of the Student Council at his high school, Lam initiated 4 projects, with organizing Model United Nations (MUN) simulations being his proudest achievement. In a short time span, Lam successfully brought MUN to Hai Phong, engaging over 180 participants and maintaining the event for 3 consecutive years with continually improving scale and quality. Lam has created an intellectually enriching platform where young people in Hai Phong can express their views on global issues, thereby enhancing their understanding of domestic and international affairs and honing their critical thinking skills. Through his projects, Lam not only pursues personal passions but also contributes to the community by offering opportunities to access new knowledge, opening up comprehensive development prospects for local youth.
When a passion for finance and a desire to contribute to the community converge to create a grand aspiration
Sharing his personal aspirations, Lam desires to independently establish an Impact Investment Fund – an investment model aimed at generating social and environmental impacts alongside financial returns. Despite receiving numerous scholarships both domestically and internationally, Lam believes that The College of Business & Management, VinUni will provide the ideal environment to realize his aspirations by not only imparting financial knowledge but also offering opportunities for exchange and interaction with leading experts in Vietnam. In the future, Lam plans to establish a mock trading club and case study competitions on investment scenarios in the market during his time at VinUni, fostering a learning environment that combines theoretical knowledge with practical investment experience right at VinUni. Lam’s steadfast passion for finance and clear direction have paved the way for him to secure a scholarship at VinUni and officially become a future student of The College of Business & Management,.
We hope Lam’s upcoming journey at VinUni will serve as an extended arm to help him achieve his dream of creating an Impact Investment Fund in Vietnam and spreading positive value to the community.
