What Happened
VIX Securities announced on June 29 that it had appointed Mr. Ha Huy Hung as Chairman and Mr. Nguyen Tuan Dung as CEO, replacing former CEO Truong Ngoc Lan, who resigned for personal reasons. The decisions take effect immediately. Mr. Nguyen Tuan Dung, previously Chairman of VIX, is a 1977-born Hanoi native with a degree in foreign economic relations. He began his career in finance at Sao Viet Securities in 2007 and joined VIX (then IB Securities) in 2014 as Deputy Head of Investment Banking. He has been on the board since 2017.
Mr. Ha Huy Hung, born 1979, holds a Master’s in Business Administration and joined VIX’s board in May 2025. The company, originally founded as Vincom Securities in 2007 under Vingroup, underwent three name changes and became VIX in 2020. Vingroup fully exited the company in 2021.
Market Context
VIX shares closed at VND 16,800 on June 29, down 0.30%, with trading volume of 17.4 million shares. The stock trades on HOSE. The leadership change comes as VIX faces a challenging year ahead, with a 2026 pre-tax profit target of VND 3,500 billion, representing a 48% decline from the prior year. The brokerage sector in Vietnam has been under pressure from lower trading volumes and regulatory changes.
Strategic Significance
The simultaneous appointment of a new Chairman and CEO signals a strategic reset at VIX. Mr. Nguyen Tuan Dung’s move from Chairman to CEO suggests a hands-on operational focus, while Mr. Ha Huy Hung’s recent board entry indicates fresh oversight. The 48% profit target reduction may reflect conservative guidance amid market headwinds or a deliberate shift in strategy. The planned 5% stock dividend for 2025 aims to reward shareholders while conserving cash.
