E1VFVN30 leads the board on turnover

With 630K units changing hands in the reported session, E1VFVN30 recorded the highest turnover of any domestic ETF in the table. FUESSV30, the other pure VN30 tracker on the list, traded 13K units, and FUEKIVFS recorded 0K units — no units changed hands in the reported session, according to the data.

E1VFVN30's price stood at 35,000 VND, down 0.14% for the session and 1.69% over the week, but up 2.96% over the past month. Year-to-date the fund is down 3.57%. Note that unit volume is a measure of thanh khoản ETF on the exchange, not of net creation or redemption flow.

FUEVFVND: thinner turnover, different trajectory

FUEVFVND closed at 33,900 VND, up 0.41% on the day and up 0.30% over the week, essentially flat over the month at +0.06%. Its year-to-date figure of -11.49% is the weakest of the group shown. Turnover of 79K units was roughly one-eighth of the turnover recorded by E1VFVN30 — a level that is meaningful in absolute terms but thin relative to the VN30 leader. For the basket construction behind this fund, see FUEVFVND và danh mục Diamond.

Returns: What the Year-to-Date Numbers Say

Looking at YTD performance across the table, the three VN30-tracking vehicles show -3.57% (E1VFVN30), -2.92% (FUESSV30) and +1.00% (FUEKIVFS). The Diamond strategy, which follows a concentrated, foreign-room-constrained basket, shows -11.49%. That is the single widest gap in the dataset and the core of the VN30 versus Diamond comparison in 2026.

Shorter windows tell a different story

Over the past month, the ranking flips. E1VFVN30 is up 2.96%, FUESSV30 up 0.74%, FUEKIVFS down 0.40% and FUEVFVND up just 0.06%. Over the past week, FUEVFVND is the only fund in the group posting a positive figure for both the week (+0.30%) and the day (+0.41%), while E1VFVN30 is down 1.69% for the week.

The practical takeaway: a YTD gap of roughly 8 percentage points between E1VFVN30 (-3.57%) and FUEVFVND (-11.49%) is largely a statement about index composition — the Diamond basket's concentration and its foreign-room constraint — rather than about manager skill. Cost structure also differs between vehicles; see phí giao dịch ETF before drawing conclusions from short-window rankings.

So sánh ETF VN30 và VN Diamond: Volume Is Not Fund Flow

A common mistake in any so sánh ETF VN30 và VN Diamond is to read 630K units as "money flowing into VN30" and 79K units as "money leaving Diamond". Traded volume measures secondary-market matching on the exchange, whereas fund flow is measured by the creation and redemption of fund certificates against NAV. The two can move in opposite directions on the same session, especially when a market maker is absorbing inventory or when a large investor is switching vehicles.

What the data does support is narrower: E1VFVN30 is the more liquid vehicle, which typically means tighter bid-ask spreads and easier execution for size. FUEVFVND's thinner tape means a large order is more likely to move the price. Investors weighing execution cost should also read hướng dẫn mua ETF and the note on ETF nước ngoài như VanEck VNM, which is not directly comparable in liquidity terms.

Tracking Error: What Price Data Can and Cannot Show

None of the figures above allow a ranking of tracking error. Tracking error is the standard deviation of the difference between fund NAV returns and index returns, calculated from NAV series — not from exchange prices. Exchange price diverges from NAV because of premiums and discounts, and a fund can trade at a premium while replicating its index almost perfectly.

A second caveat: with a single session of volume data, the dispersion between the three VN30-tracking funds (-3.57%, -2.92%, +1.00% YTD) may reflect differences in fee levels, dividend treatment, replication method or NAV timing rather than management quality. Published tracking error should be taken from fund factsheets, and any conclusion drawn from the table above should be labelled as inference, not fact. Definitions are covered in tracking error là gì.

So sánh ETF VN30 và VN Diamond: Which Vehicle Fits Which Investor?

Based on the data available:

  • Liquidity first: E1VFVN30, with 630K units traded, is the default choice for investors who need to enter or exit size without slippage.
  • Index exposure: VN30 trackers deliver diversified large-cap exposure; VN Diamond delivers a concentrated, foreign-room-constrained basket that has behaved very differently YTD (-11.49%).
  • Sector tilt: see FUESSVFL và nhóm cổ phiếu tài chính for a different concentration trade.
  • Flow and rate backdrop: the macro drivers behind ETF flows are covered in lãi suất và dòng tiền 2026.
