Mixed Session Across Vietnam's ETF Market
Seven locally listed Vietnam-related ETFs recorded a wide range of one-day moves. On the positive side, the DCVFMVN Diamond ETF (FUEVFVND) added 0.66% to 33,370 VND, while the VFMVN30 ETF (E1VFVN30) slipped 0.06% to 33,780 VND on 134,000 units traded.

Most Notable Data Point
The SSIAM VNX50 ETF (FUESSV50) rose 5.92% to 28,980 VND, the largest one-day gain in the table. Its one-week return of -2.09% shows the daily move went against the recent trend, and trading volume was just 1,000 units — the lowest among the domestic ETFs listed.
VN30 vs. VNX50: Diverging Strategies
Among VN30-linked ETFs, one-week performance diverged: E1VFVN30 fell 2.09%, FUESSV30 lost 4.12%, and FUEKIVFS gained 1.07%. On a one-month basis, FUESSV30 was flat at 0.00%, E1VFVN30 lost 0.94%, and FUEKIVFS slipped 0.18%. Year-to-date, FUEKIVFS is up 0.06%, while E1VFVN30 is down 6.40% and FUESSV30 is down 4.35%.
VNX50's Outlier Move
FUESSV50 delivered +1.68% over one month and +1.97% year-to-date, the highest YTD return in the table. However, the low one-day volume of 1,000 units means the 5.92% jump took place in a thinly traded session; for investors, this highlights the importance of checking liquidity before interpreting price moves.
Trading Volume and Fund Flows: Important Distinction
Volume figures in the table include E1VFVN30 at 134,000 units, FUEVFVND at 106,000 units, FUESSV30 at 129,000 units, FUESSV50 at 1,000 units, FUESSVFL at 5,000 units, FUEKIVFS at 4,000 units, and VNM at 153,000 shares. According to latest data, these are exchange-traded volume figures, not official fund flow data.
Why Trading Volume Is Not Fund Flow
ETF fund flow is measured as the change in shares outstanding multiplied by NAV, which reflects creation and redemption activity. Trading volume on the exchange only shows secondary-market turnover. Therefore, high volume does not automatically mean "capital inflow" into the fund.
