What Each Column Measures
The 1-day, 1-week, 1-month and YTD columns are total price returns measured across the closing prices in the table, sourced from Yahoo Finance. The volume column shows units traded for domestic ETFs and shares traded for VNM. Because the session had closed at the time of this data pull, every price shown is an official closing price rather than an intraday quote.
Important: Volume Is Trading Activity, Not Fund Flow
It is worth being precise here, because the distinction is frequently blurred. The volume column above is exchange trading volume — the number of units that changed hands. It is not creation/redemption activity, and it is not official fund flow data. This dataset contains no NAV and no shares-outstanding figures, so no genuine “capital inflow” or “capital outflow” conclusion can be drawn from it. Throughout this article, volume is treated strictly as a liquidity indicator, never as a proxy for money entering or leaving a fund.
YTD Performance: Which Vietnam ETF Leads in 2026?
Year-to-date, the ranking is unambiguous in direction and varied in magnitude — all seven funds are down, but the dispersion is wide. The full YTD leaderboard, from best to worst, reads: FUESSV50 (-2.57%), FUEKIVFS (-4.98%), FUESSV30 (-5.14%), E1VFVN30 (-6.23%), FUESSVFL (-8.89%), VNM (-13.08%) and FUEVFVND (-15.27%).
1. FUESSV50: The Relative YTD Leader at -2.57%
SSIAM VNX50 ETF (FUESSV50) tops the YTD table with a decline of 2.57%, closing at 27,690 VND. It is the only fund in the set with a YTD drawdown smaller than 4%. However, the fund's shorter-term profile is less comfortable: it fell 1.53% on the day and 6.14% over the past month — the second-worst one-month reading in the group. Volume of roughly 8,000 units makes it one of the least liquid names in the table, which matters for anyone trading in size rather than buying and holding.
2. FUEKIVFS: -4.98%, Built on a Single +6.93% Session
KIM Growth VN30 ETF (FUEKIVFS) sits second at -4.98%, but the headline number deserves a caveat. Its +6.93% one-day gain is the largest single-session move in the entire table — several times larger than any other fund's daily print — and it closed at 16,210 VND. Reported volume rounds to 0K units, meaning there was effectively no exchange trading in the session. A daily move of that size on no volume is a pricing artefact, not a demand signal. Treat the -4.98% YTD figure with caution and always check live quotes before acting on it.
3. FUESSV30: -5.14% With the Flattest Week
SSIAM VN30 ETF (FUESSV30) returned -5.14% YTD and closed at 24,000 VND. Its one-week return of 0.00% is the only flat weekly reading in the set, and its +0.42% daily gain was one of just two positive sessions on 09/10/2026. Volume of 15,000 units is modest but ahead of FUESSV50 and FUESSVFL.
4. E1VFVN30: -6.23%, the Liquidity Benchmark
VFMVN30 ETF (E1VFVN30) closed at 33,840 VND, down 6.23% YTD, 4.00% over one month and 1.02% on the day. It is the largest and most heavily traded domestic fund in this comparison at 461,000 units — roughly 1.7x the volume of FUEVFVND and more than 50x that of FUESSV50. That depth is the single biggest practical argument for the fund despite its mid-table return.
5. FUESSVFL: -8.89% as Financials Lag
SSIAM VN FINLEAD ETF (FUESSVFL) fell 8.89% YTD to 27,660 VND, with a -2.36% week that was the weakest in the table. Its sector-tilted construction means it should be judged against bank and financial-sector performance rather than the broad market; see our Vietnam stock market outlook 2026 for the sector backdrop.
6. VNM: -13.08% for the Offshore Proxy
VanEck Vietnam ETF (VNM) closed at $16.61, down 13.08% YTD and 6.95% over the month — the worst one-month figure in the group. Offshore vehicles carry additional frictions (market access, FX exposure, premium or discount to NAV) that domestic ETFs do not, and the YTD spread versus FUESSV50 is more than 10 percentage points.
7. FUEVFVND: The YTD Laggard at -15.27%
DCVFMVN Diamond ETF (FUEVFVND) is the worst performer in the set, down 15.27% YTD at 32,450 VND. Yet it is also one of only two domestic funds to post a positive daily session (+0.22%), and its one-week and one-month numbers (-0.64% and -3.99%) are mid-pack. The gap between its short-term steadiness and its YTD disaster is the clearest illustration in this dataset of how much a single holding period can flip the ranking.
E1VFVN30 vs FUEVFVND: Head-to-Head
These two funds attract most of the domestic ETF flow, and the comparison is instructive because they disagree on nearly every horizon except the one that matters least to a long-term investor.
| Metric | E1VFVN30 | FUEVFVND | Winner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Closing Price | 33,840 VND | 32,450 VND | — |
| 1-Day | -1.02% | +0.22% | FUEVFVND |
| 1-Week | -1.11% | -0.64% | FUEVFVND |
| 1-Month | -4.00% | -3.99% | FUEVFVND (marginal) |
| YTD | -6.23% | -15.27% | E1VFVN30 |
| Volume | 461K units | 264K units | E1VFVN30 |
The pattern is clear: FUEVFVND has been the steadier fund over days, weeks and even months, but it carries a much deeper YTD hole. E1VFVN30 wins on the horizon most investors actually measure — and it does so with 1.7x the trading depth, which means tighter effective spreads when you buy or sell.
Liquidity Ranking: Where Volume Actually Sits
Ordering the seven funds by exchange volume gives a very different picture from the return ranking:
- E1VFVN30 — 461K units
- VNM — 375K shares (US listing)
- FUEVFVND — 264K units
- FUESSV30 — 15K units
- FUESSVFL — 11K units
- FUESSV50 — 8K units
- FUEKIVFS — 0K units
Two things stand out. First, the YTD leader (FUESSV50) is sixth of seven by volume — the best performer is not the easiest to trade. Second, FUEKIVFS shows essentially no trading activity, which is why its outsized daily move should not be read as a market signal. As noted earlier, none of these figures are fund flow data; they are pure liquidity measures.
Which Vietnam ETF Is the Least Risky?
“Least risky” depends on which risk you mean, and this dataset supports three different answers:
- Lowest drawdown risk so far in 2026: FUESSV50, at -2.57% YTD — the only fund down less than 4%. This is the most common reading of the question.
- Lowest execution/trading risk: E1VFVN30, with 461K units traded and the deepest order book in the group. Thin funds such as FUESSV50 and FUEKIVFS carry real slippage risk that never shows up in a returns table.
- Lowest short-term volatility: FUEVFVND, which has the best 1-day, 1-week and near-best 1-month prints despite the worst YTD number.
If forced to choose one, FUESSV50 is the least risky on a pure year-to-date drawdown basis, while E1VFVN30 is the least risky for anyone who needs to get in and out of a position without moving the price. No ETF in this set is “safe” in absolute terms — all seven are negative YTD.
FAQ: Vietnam ETF Comparison 2026
ETF Việt Nam nào dẫn đầu YTD năm 2026?
So sánh ETF Việt Nam theo dữ liệu đóng cửa 09/10/2026 cho thấy FUESSV50 dẫn đầu với -2.57%, tiếp theo là FUEKIVFS (-4.98%) và FUESSV30 (-5.14%). FUEVFVND xếp cuối với -15.27%.
Which Vietnam ETF has the best liquidity?
E1VFVN30, with 461,000 units traded on 09/10/2026 — the highest in the comparison set and roughly 1.7x the volume of FUEVFVND. For a broader explanation of how to read these figures, see our liquidity explainer and our guide to how to buy a Vietnam ETF.
Does trading volume mean money is flowing into the fund?
No. Volume is exchange trading activity, not creation/redemption or fund flow. This dataset contains no NAV or shares-outstanding data, so no capital inflow or outflow conclusion can be drawn from the volume column.
Is FUEKIVFS really up 6.93% in one day?
The print exists, but it came on effectively zero volume (0K units), which makes it a pricing artefact rather than a tradable move. Verify live quotes before drawing any conclusion from that number.
Conclusion: So sánh ETF Việt Nam 2026 — Key Takeaways
Running a so sánh ETF Việt Nam for 2026 produces a clear hierarchy on returns and a very different one on liquidity. FUESSV50 leads YTD at -2.57% and is the least risky fund by drawdown, but it trades only 8K units a day. E1VFVN30 sits mid-table at -6.23% yet offers the execution depth that most investors need. FUEVFVND is the weakest performer over the year (-15.27%) but among the steadiest over shorter windows, and VNM remains a higher-friction offshore option at -13.08%. Higher returns in a down market and easier trading did not belong to the same fund in 2026 — choose which one you actually need. Review the fees and tax treatment of each fund before allocating, and revisit the full Vietnam ETF guide if you are still building your first position.
