Session Overview: Four of Six Domestic ETFs Close Higher
The daily gains, however, contrast with a cautious medium-term picture. All seven tracked funds — six domestic ETFs plus the US-listed VanEck Vietnam ETF (VNM) — remain negative year-to-date. FUESSV30 shows the shallowest YTD decline at -1.98%, while FUEVFVND is the deepest at -10.70%, followed by VNM at -10.26%. On a one-month view, the VN30 cluster is diverging sharply: FUESSV30 is up +3.98% while FUEKIVFS is down -7.39%.
Leaders: VN30 and Diamond ETFs Lead the Recovery
FUESSV30 Tops the Day at +2.90%; E1VFVN30 Follows at +2.87%
FUESSV30 posted the session's strongest one-day gain, +2.90%, extending its weekly gain to +2.95% and monthly gain to +3.98%, with 18K units traded. E1VFVN30, the day's most actively traded domestic ETF at 324K units, rose +2.87%; its weekly change is +0.61%, monthly +2.21%, and YTD -3.71%. The data shows the two VN30-tracking funds do not always move in lockstep despite sharing the same benchmark index.
FUEVFVND and FUESSVFL Also Close in the Green
FUEVFVND advanced +2.09% on the day, matching its one-week change of +2.09% exactly, with 229K units traded; its one-month gain is +2.15%, while YTD it remains down -10.70%. FUESSVFL gained +2.22% on 52K units, though its weekly reading is still slightly negative at -0.14% and YTD stands at -5.96%.
Laggards and the US-Listed View
FUESSV50 Drops -2.35%; FUEKIVFS Slides -0.82%
FUESSV50 was the steepest decliner of the session at -2.35%, extending its weekly loss to -2.28% and monthly loss to -0.81%, on thin volume of 2K units. FUEKIVFS fell -0.82% and remains the weakest VN30-cluster fund over one month at -7.39%; its session volume rounded to 0K units. Notably, FUESSV50's decline contrasted with broad gains across most other domestic ETFs, underlining the different constituent composition of the VNX50 universe.
VNM Edges Up +0.41% but Remains Down Over the Week
The US-listed VanEck Vietnam ETF (VNM) closed at $17.15, up +0.41% on the day with 265K shares traded. Over the past week, however, VNM is down -2.11%; its monthly change is +1.30% and YTD -10.26%, per Yahoo Finance data.
Trading Volume vs. Fund Flows: What This Data Can and Cannot Tell Us
Volume Figures Reflect Secondary-Market Activity, Not Creation/Redemption Flows
The volume figures above — E1VFVN30 at 324K units, FUEVFVND at 229K units, FUESSVFL at 52K units — are secondary-market trading volumes measured on the exchange, as reported by Yahoo Finance. They show how many ETF units changed hands on 21/08/2026, but they are not, by themselves, "fund flows." True ETF fund flow is the net change in shares outstanding multiplied by NAV, reflecting creation/redemption activity between authorized participants and the fund manager. That information is disclosed by fund managers in their periodic fund reports and NAV statements. As no official creation/redemption figures for the session are included in this dataset, any conclusion about capital entering or leaving these funds would require those separate disclosures — not exchange trading volume alone.
What to Watch in the Coming Sessions
Key Data Points to Monitor
Three data points deserve attention in late August 2026. First, the one-month divergence inside the VN30 cluster: FUESSV30 at +3.98% versus FUEKIVFS at -7.39%, a spread of more than 11 percentage points. Second, whether FUESSV50 can stabilize after its -2.28% weekly slide. Third, official fund flow data from fund managers, which will confirm whether the strong secondary-market activity in E1VFVN30 and FUEVFVND translates into actual creations or redemptions.
FAQ
1. Why did FUESSV50 fall -2.35% while most other Vietnamese ETFs rose on 21/08/2026?
According to Yahoo Finance data as of 21/08/2026, FUESSV50 — which tracks the VNX50 index — was the only domestic ETF with a daily loss of -2.35%, and it is also down -2.28% over the week. In the same session, VN30-tracking funds such as E1VFVN30 (+2.87%) and FUESSV30 (+2.90%) advanced. The data reflects divergent moves between the VNX50 and VN30 constituent groups on the day.
2. What is the difference between ETF trading volume and ETF fund flow?
Trading volume, such as E1VFVN30's 324K units on 21/08/2026, measures units exchanged between buyers and sellers on the secondary market. Fund flow measures net creation/redemption activity — the change in shares outstanding multiplied by NAV — and is published by fund managers in periodic fund reports. The 21/08/2026 dataset includes only trading volume, not official fund flow figures, so it cannot be used to conclude about capital inflows or outflows.

E1VFVN30 led domestic ETFs with 324K units, followed by FUEVFVND with 229K units and FUESSVFL with 52K units, per Yahoo Finance data as of 21/08/2026. Among US-listed names, VNM traded 265K shares. The least traded domestic ETF on the day was FUEKIVFS at 0K units.
