The Vietnam Investment Fund is a generalist private equity fund investing in Vietnam. It was launched in 2007 with private investors. On behalf of SECO SIFEM committed USD 7.0 million to the fund in 2008.

VIF is a private equity fund targeting medium-sized companies in Vietnam. The fund finances companies in a variety of sectors, with some concentration in manufacturing and exports, as well as companies catering to local consumption. Areas of focus for the fund are local consumption, logistics/service providers, media/advertising and non-bank financial institutions. Target deal size is USD 2.0 - 10.0 million. The fund's strategy does not distinguish between purely private companies and those that were state-owned.

VIF is managed by Vietnam Partners, a first-time fund manager.
