Trading volume is not the same as fund flow
It is important to distinguish the figures above from true ETF fund flows. Trading volume reflects units exchanged on the secondary market during a session, whereas fund flow measures creation and redemption activity, typically calculated as the change in shares outstanding multiplied by NAV. The data set for August 12, 2026 contains exchange trading volumes only, so no conclusion about capital inflows or outflows should be drawn from it.

FAQ — Vietnam ETF Market on August 12, 2026
Which Vietnam ETF posted the biggest gain on August 12, 2026?
According to Yahoo Finance data as of August 12, 2026, SSIAM VN30 ETF (FUESSV30) was the top performer of the session, advancing +3.91% to 25,240 VND. KIM Growth VN30 ETF (FUEKIVFS) followed with a +3.00% gain to 17,510 VND.
Is trading volume the same as fund flow?
No. Trading volume is not the same as fund flow. As explained above, trading volume reflects secondary-market turnover, while fund flow is based on creation/redemption activity. So while a high-volume day might attract attention, it does not necessarily signal net inflows. That distinction matters for anyone tracking the thị trường ETF.
