As a non-profit organisation with around 100 members who are experts in finance, asset management, investment, law, and fintech from the UK, Viet Nam, and several other countries, VIFA UK aims to build a cross-border collaboration ecosystem to share knowledge, experience, and opportunities in the fields of finance and investment.

At the launch event, VIFA UK's executive board announced three strategic pillars for development during the 2025–2028 period: connection and in-depth training through regular workshops and mentorship programmes involving leading industry experts; research collaboration and policy review through consultations and critiques by international specialists; and support for the Vietnamese community in the UK and on the globe via a financial advisory.

Christine Le, VIFA UK founder, said that the association possesses key advantages to make practical contributions to the development of Viet Nam’s financial sector. Operating in London, one of the world’s leading financial centres, and comprising members who work and conduct research at investment banks, asset management funds, fintech companies, and strategic financial consulting firms, VIFA UK is well-positioned to stay abreast of global trends, international standards, and effective operational models of the modern financial industry.

Assessing the association’s role in promoting Viet Nam–UK trade and investment ties, Radiana Vlahova, Executive Director of the London Southside Chamber of Commerce, stated that VIFA UK offers opportunities to connect cultures and business sectors between the two countries, with the goal of creating a trustworthy environment where investors and entrepreneurs can support and collaborate with one another.
