Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.

In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY
26. Vinasun (Vietnam Sun Corp), Bloomberg Code: VNS VN
• Vinasun is the largest taxi operator in Vietnam with a market share
of 42% in Ho Chi Minh City and a fleet size of ~4,000 taxis.
• Company is expanding into new cities in 2014 and its competitive
advantage is the ease of access to its taxis through a 24 hour call
centre as well as online and on the ground presence at airports,
hotels and commercial centres which reduces waiting time relative
to competition.
• Increasing urbanisation is a demand driver for taxi services with
urban population at 32% of total population in 2012 as compared
to 26% in 2002
• With further growth in fleet size and profits we expect Vinasun can
achieve comparable valuations to its regional peers which leaves
room for further upside
• Currently valued at a Trailing 12 Month P/E of 8.4x and a P/B of
1.3x. Similar peer, Indonesia based Express Transindo (TAXI IJ)
trades at Trailing 12 Month P/E of 30.5x and a P/B of 5.1x

network across the country
• Revenues and net income for the company have grown at a CAGR
of 16.2% and 30.7% respectively between FY2008 and FY2013

unlevered balance sheet with minimal debt
• Currently valued very attractively at a P/E of 4.3x based on trailing

• The fund entered this stock when valuations were even more
compelling with a P/E of 1.97x and P/B of 0.77x
• The stock has appreciated by 58% since purchase but we believe it
is still attractively valued given the growth prospects for the Sri

ASIAN FRONTIER THEME – CONSUMER STOCKS
AFC Asia Frontier Fund’s key sector allocation – Consumer Stocks
Why we like Consumer Stocks:
• Demographics of Frontier Markets – Young Population
• Increasing disposable income will shift demand for consumer goods
• Attractive valuations, free cash flow generation, consistent earnings growth
and dividend payout

other industries such as Utilities or Infrastructure

Companies
• Not as significantly impacted by political and social issues
• Asian Consumer companies could be attractive acquisition/investment
