Choosing an investment channel

Experts from Thien Viet Fund Management Company (TVAM) recognize that domestic gold has the characteristic of being often higher than the world price and difficult to predict; real estate requires large capital and long investment time, both of these investment channels will not be suitable for individual investors at this time. Instead, experts recommend an investment strategy for 9-12 months with expected profit of about 12%, allocating capital to 4 channels: stocks, short-term savings, cash and US dollars.

According to the strategy, 20% of the portfolio is allocated to short-term deposits (1-3 months) because the capital is not yet eligible to participate in corporate bonds, 10% is kept in cash to take advantage of deep market corrections (if any) to increase stocks, and 10% is held in USD expecting to benefit from the US fiscal policy of the Trump administration. 60% of the portfolio is for stocks thanks to the potential in 2025 with corporate profits expected to increase by 16-18% and PE and PB valuations at attractive levels (14.8x and 1.6x).

Securities – the focus of investment portfolio in 2025

Regarding the stock investment channel, TVAM experts believe that this is an effective investment channel for individual customers and continue to propose portfolio strategies by industry group.

The banking group is expected to see a 20% increase in profits, thanks to a 16% increase in credit and a recovery in net interest margin (NIM). The group's valuation is currently attractive for investment with PB of 1.3 - 1.4 times. In addition, the industry group benefits from public investment, as the Government aims to disburse VND790 trillion, an increase of 18% compared to the 2024 plan. The export industry group has potential thanks to recovering global demand and supportive exchange rates, while the securities industry is expected to benefit from FTSE upgrading Vietnam's market to Emerging in September 2025, attracting foreign capital flows of USD3-4 billion.

TVAM experts believe that the above strategy and portfolio selection will be suitable for investing VND500 million with an expected return of 12%. If individual investors have a higher risk appetite, they can increase the investment proportion in the stock channel to match their investment goals.
