CHƯƠNG TRÌNH ĐỌC BÁO MỖI NGÀY / \ How The Vietnam War Made Women CEOs Better Than Men 1. “Unlike in so many Asian countries, where women are marginalized, they are empowered in Vietnam,” Peter Ryder, the Hanoi-based CEO of Indochina Capital, an investor in female-led companies such as Vietnam Dairy Products JSC, the nation’s largest milk producer, said in a phone interview. “It’s part of the culture. Women here are very hard-working, very bright, very committed.” 2. The presence of female leaders has been shown to improve performance at companies around the world. A Credit Suisse Research Institute report that examined 2,360 companies in 46 nations between 2005 and 2011 found that those with one or more female board members produced above-average returns on equity, while commanding higher valuations in the stock market. 3.“There is a strong business case that demands women in leadership,” Deborah Gillis, the chief executive officer of Catalyst, a New York-based non-profit organization that promotes research on women in the workplace, said in an e-mail. 4.In Vietnam, business sentiment is on the upswing. The VN index climbed 21 percent in the past year through last week as inflation fell to the slowest pace since 2009 in March, exports topped economists’ estimates and the central bank cut its refinancing rate to a six-year low. Policy makers are trying to maintain a recovery in economic growth that they forecast will reach 5.8 percent this year, up from 5.42 percent in 2013. 5.The equal-weighted index of 43 Vietnamese companies identified by IFRC with women CEOs has advanced 40 percent in the past year. It rallied 193 percent since March 2009, outpacing the 107 percent gain for the VN index, data compiled by Bloomberg show. 6.Stocks in the women index are spread across seven industries, with the biggest weightings in industrial and financial companies. The five-year returns range from a gain of 763 percent to a loss of 72 percent, with a median advance of 72 percent, data compiled by Bloomberg show. That compares with the median gain of 55 percent in the VN index.
