1-Month: Diamond & VanEck Shine
The one-month window highlights stronger momentum for certain segments. The DCVFMVN Diamond ETF (FUEVFVND) led all domestic funds with a +10.81% gain, followed closely by the international VanEck Vietnam ETF at +9.85%. In contrast, FUEKIVFS lagged with a -4.60% one-month decline, illustrating a divergence in recent buying patterns across tracking indices.
Year-to-Date Performance: A Mixed Scorecard
Despite the positive daily and monthly momentum, year-to-2026 returns remain mixed. As of August 26, 2026, only two funds in the table are in positive YTD territory: the SSIAM VNX50 ETF at +2.71% and the KIM Growth VN30 ETF at +2.23%. The rest remain underwater, with the Diamond ETF down -9.01% YTD and VNM down -6.07% in dollar terms, highlighting that leadership has rotated notably over the course of the year.
Structural Leaders and Laggards
The divergence between the strong one-month performance of FUEVFVND and its negative YTD return suggests a recent shift in investor appetite. Similarly, while FUEKIVFS has a positive YTD figure, its negative one-month and one-week returns indicate fading short-term demand.

What to Watch: Trading Volume vs. Fund Flows
It is important to distinguish between secondary market trading volume and true ETF fund flows. The figures presented here—such as the 967K units traded for E1VFVN30—represent exchange-matched volume. In contrast, official fund flow data reflects creation and redemption activity, which is reported separately by fund issuers. To evaluate structural capital movements, investors should track creation/redemption figures rather than relying solely on session volume.
