Yuanta Vietnam joins market-upgrade wave with 6.8% margin offer

Vietnam’s planned market upgrade is creating what Yuanta Vietnam describes as a new phase of opportunity for the country’s capital markets. The brokerage held investment conferences in Thailand and Singapore in August, bringing together more than 500 individual and institutional investors.

The events examined Vietnam’s capital-market prospects and investment opportunities from 2026 to 2030. Speakers included representatives of market regulators, index providers, major financial institutions and domestic and international analysts.

Five figures highlighted the outlook presented at the conferences. Investment capital needs for 2026 to 2030 were projected at VND38.5 quadrillion to support a 10% GDP target. Vietnam’s stock market has 13 million individual investor accounts, providing a domestic source of liquidity. The VN-Index’s price-to-earnings valuation, excluding VIC, VHM and GEX, stood at 11.3 times, described as two standard deviations below its historical range.

Vietnam is scheduled to enter FTSE Russell’s secondary emerging-market index on September 21, 2026. About $1.5 billion in passive capital is expected to flow into 27 stocks selected for the FTSE Global All Cap index. The allocation is expected to take place in stages from September 2026 through September 2027, rather than in a single burst.

Yuanta argues that investors should prepare both their portfolios and funding. Its Margin Lộc Phát program offers financing at 6.8% a year, with a VND3 billion limit and a six-month term, to the first 100 eligible investors who register in September. The article stresses that margin financing is most useful when borrowing costs and repayment periods fit a controlled investment strategy, rather than simply maximizing leverage.
