Vietcap Chairwoman's Fund VCAM Exits VCI Stake in Full Sale

Overview

VCAM, the fund management arm linked to Vietcap Chairwoman Nguyen Thanh Phuong, has sold its entire 580,500-share position in Vietcap Securities (VCI), exiting the HOSE-listed broker. The disposal was framed as portfolio restructuring and raised roughly VND 11B at prevailing prices. Phuong’s personal holding of 30.8 million VCI shares, equal to 2.67%, is unchanged.

Key Facts

• VCAM sold all 580,500 registered VCI shares via order matching between 15/9 and 8/10/2026.
• Gross proceeds were approximately VND 11B based on the closing market price.
• VCAM now holds zero shares in Vietcap following the transaction.
• Chairwoman Nguyen Thanh Phuong personally holds 30,800,250 VCI shares, or 2.67%.
• Board member To Hai bought 31.05 million VCI shares via put-through from 4/8 to 24/8/2026, lifting his holding to more than 205.5 million shares, or 17.84%.
• H1 2026 revenue reached VND 2,582B, up 28% year on year; pre-tax profit was nearly VND 675B, up 19% and equal to about 29% of the annual plan.
• VCI closed at 18,550 on 11/10/2026.

What Happened

Vietcap Securities disclosed a transaction report showing that Vietcap Fund Management (VCAM) completed the sale of its full registered block of 580,500 VCI shares. The trades were executed by order matching over a period running from 15 September to 8 October 2026. VCAM had previously registered to sell the entire holding as part of a portfolio restructuring, and after settlement it no longer owns any Vietcap equity.

VCAM is a related organization of Nguyen Thanh Phuong, who chairs both Vietcap’s board of directors and the fund management company. The filing states that Phuong’s personal account still holds 30,800,250 VCI shares, equivalent to 2.67% of the broker. The report does not disclose a transaction value, though applying the closing price implies proceeds of roughly VND 11B.

Market Context

VCI trades on the HOSE and closed at 18,550 on 11 October 2026. The sale is small in scale relative to the company’s market capitalization and to the 17.84% stake held by board member To Hai, whose 31.05 million-share purchase in August 2026 was far larger in both volume and value. Vietnamese securities stocks have been sensitive to brokerage margin levels, daily market turnover and foreign flows, and insider filings of this size are typically read as portfolio housekeeping rather than a directional signal on the sector.

Strategic Significance

The transaction does not alter the control structure at Vietcap. Phuong’s direct 2.67% and To Hai’s 17.84% remain the anchor insider positions, and the removal of a small affiliated fund holding simplifies the shareholder register without changing board influence. For long-term investors, the more relevant datapoint is the operating trend: H1 2026 revenue growth of 28% and pre-tax profit growth of 19% show the brokerage is still expanding, but profit equal to only about 29% of the annual plan implies a back-half acceleration is required to meet guidance. The insider buying by To Hai at a larger scale than the VCAM exit is the more informative signal on management’s view of valuation.

What to Watch

• Q3 2026 earnings release, which will show whether profit momentum is sufficient to close the gap to the full-year plan.
• Further transaction reports from Nguyen Thanh Phuong or To Hai, which would clarify whether insider positioning is shifting.
• Monthly HOSE turnover and margin lending data, the main drivers of Vietcap’s brokerage and financing revenue.
• Any update on VCAM’s remaining portfolio holdings, given the stated restructuring rationale.
