ETF Weekly Report for Week Ended 14/08/2026: Fund Performance and Investor Capital Flows
Vietnam's ETF market closed the trading week ended 14 August 2026 with a clear split between winners and laggards: KIM Growth VN30 ETF (FUEKIVFS) delivered the strongest weekly performance at +1.27%, while SSIAM VN30 ETF (FUESSV30) dropped -2.43% — the worst weekly decline among the seven funds tracked — according to Yahoo Finance data as of 14/08/2026.

Market Overview: A Divergent Week for Vietnamese ETFs
The week ended 14/08/2026 put the divergence between Vietnam's ETF strategies on full display. FUEKIVFS (+1.27%) and FUEVFVND (+0.33%) finished the week in positive territory, while FUESSVFL was essentially flat at -0.07%. The two SSIAM index funds and the US-listed VNM, by contrast, all posted weekly losses, with FUESSV30 down -2.43%, FUESSV50 down -2.13% and VNM down -1.61%. The final session on Friday amplified this split: FUESSV30 fell -4.02% in a single day, the sharpest one-day drop in the dataset, while FUESSV50 closed nearly flat at +0.03% and FUEKIVFS added +0.29%.
A split inside the VN30 segment
Notably, the three VN30-family ETFs moved in opposite directions. VFMVN30 ETF (E1VFVN30) slipped -1.02% for the week and -1.85% on Friday, closing at 33,900 VND per unit. SSIAM VN30 ETF (FUESSV30) fared worse, losing -2.43% weekly and -4.02% on the day to finish at 24,090 VND. By contrast, KIM Growth VN30 ETF (FUEKIVFS) gained +1.27% over the week and +0.29% on Friday, ending at 17,560 VND. Divergence within the same index family is a reminder that index methodology, weighting and constituent exposure can produce different outcomes even in the same market segment — which is exactly why side-by-side comparison matters when selecting an ETF.

Investor Activity: What the Trading Data Shows — and What It Does Not
On the final trading day of the week, on-exchange activity in domestic ETFs was extremely thin. Volume was recorded at 0K units for E1VFVN30, FUESSV30, FUESSV50, FUESSVFL and FUEKIVFS, and just 1K units for FUEVFVND, according to the data as of 14/08/2026. VNM, listed in the US, saw considerably more activity, with 541K shares changing hands.
Volume is not the same as fund flow
A critical distinction: the figures above are trading volumes on the secondary market, not official ETF fund flows. Fund flows are measured through creation and redemption activity — the change in shares outstanding multiplied by NAV — which is a separate dataset and is not included here. Based on the available trading data, we can conclude that secondary-market activity was thin for domestic ETFs, but we cannot infer whether net capital entered or left these funds.

What to Watch in the Week Ahead
Three signals to track
- Whether FUEKIVFS can extend its +2.93% YTD lead and remain the only domestic fund with a weekly gain above +1%.
- Whether FUEVFVND can build on its +0.33% weekly gain and begin closing the -12.53% YTD gap.
- Whether official creation and redemption data confirms any directional capital flow behind the thin on-exchange volumes seen on Friday.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is DCVFMVN Diamond ETF down -12.53% YTD despite a positive week?
Based on Yahoo Finance data as of 14/08/2026, FUEVFVND gained +0.33% over the week — one of only two domestic ETFs in positive territory — but a single positive week is small relative to the cumulative decline the fund has absorbed since the start of the year. Weekly and year-to-date returns measure different horizons: the -12.53% figure reflects the entire 2026 period, while the +0.33% gain covers only the most recent week.
2. Is the trading volume in this report the same as ETF capital flows?
No. The volume figures (0K units, 1K units, 541K shares) reflect on-exchange trading as of 14/08/2026. ETF capital flows are determined by creation and redemption activity — the change in shares outstanding multiplied by NAV. Without official fund flow data, we cannot state whether net capital entered or exited these funds, so this report presents trading data only and does not label it as fund flow.
3. Which Vietnam ETF has performed best in 2026 so far?
As of 14/08/2026, KIM Growth VN30 ETF (FUEKIVFS) leads with a YTD return of +2.93%, followed by SSIAM VNX50 ETF (FUESSV50) at +1.94%. All other funds in the dataset remain negative YTD, with DCVFMVN Diamond ETF recording the deepest loss at -12.53%.
