Miss Businesswoman leaves the position of Deputy General Director of OCBS after 4 months

On August 29, 2025, the Board of Directors of OCBS Securities Company announced the decision to dismiss Deputy General Director Ms. Nguyen Thi Trieu.

Accordingly, OCBS dismissed Ms. Nguyen Thi Trieu from the position of Deputy General Director from August 31, 2025.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Trieu's resignation letter stated: "After working and objectively assessing myself, I realized that I am not really suitable to continue holding the position of Deputy General Director as initially expected. Therefore, after careful consideration, I respectfully request the Board of Directors and the Executive Board to consider and approve my resignation from the position of Deputy General Director at the Company from August 31, 2025."

Ms. Nguyen Thi Trieu was appointed to the position of Deputy General Director of OCBS since the beginning of May 2025, in charge of Investment Banking and Capital Management. Thus, Ms. Trieu's tenure in the position is only 4 months.

Before joining OCBS, Ms. Trieu was noticed for the highest title at the Miss Vietnamese Global Entrepreneur 2024 contest. Ms. Trieu is also the general director of Blue Blue Bridge Investment Partners JSC, established in 2024 with a charter capital of 5 billion VND.

The period when Ms. Trieu joined OCBS was also the period when this securities company had many major changes in both personnel and operational structure.

OCBS Securities Joint Stock Company was renamed from Vietnam International Securities Joint Stock Company (VISecurities) in the first half of this year and moved its headquarters from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City. The senior management personnel have also changed. The position of General Director has been assigned to Mr. Nguyen Duc Quan Tung since February 2025.

Regarding business results, in the first 6 months of the year, OCBS is still focusing on restructuring. Operating revenue for the first 6 months of this year reached more than 40.5 billion VND, up 39% over the same period last year. However, all expenses increased sharply, especially financial expenses, leading to 6-month after-tax profit of 6.5 billion VND, down 26% compared to the first half of 2024.

OCBS's explanation said that, in addition to expanding business, the company is restructuring its apparatus, causing costs to increase, leading to a decrease in profits.

In June 2025, OCBS increased its capital from VND 300 billion to VND 1,200 billion. The asset structure also changed when margin trading loans increased from VND 117.6 billion at the beginning of the year to VND 293.5 billion at the end of the second quarter. In addition, most of the assets are still in the form of bank deposits, as shown in the Cash and Cash Equivalents Index of OCBS, which skyrocketed from VND 62.5 billion at the beginning of the year to VND 891.2 billion at the end of the second quarter.

OCBS's "taste" for proprietary investment has also changed when it focuses mainly on HAG (Hoang Anh Gia Lai ) shares. In addition to the value of more than VND 57.4 billion recorded as FVTPL assets at the end of the second quarter of 2025 in HAG shares, the Board of Directors of OCBS has approved a proprietary investment limit in HAG with a limit of up to VND 220 billion.

Previously, according to the plan to use capital from the recent capital increase share offering, from the 900 billion VND collected, the company will spend 475 billion VND to supplement capital for margin trading loans and 400 billion VND for investment and proprietary trading activities.

With the restructuring plan and new resources, OCBS at the beginning of the year had a rather ambitious plan with a revenue target of 194 billion VND in 2025, pre-tax profit of 88 billion VND, respectively increasing by 230% and 420% compared to 2024. However, with the figures achieved in the first half of 2025, this target for OCBS is still very far away.
