The topic we will speak…

▪ Vietnam is largely dominated by retail investors still when it accounts for ~ 75% of

daily trading value.

▪ Understanding their trading behaviors and factors behind their sentiment would

be very important for foreign investors and traders especially offshore ones.

▪ In this presentation, we try to analyze key factors which are, in our experience,

driving local investor sentiment.

▪ The analysis and findings are squeezed from our decade of our experience as a

leading data-based research and analytics firm in Vietnam.

▪ Investors should be mindful of data quality in Vietnam. We observe that anchoring

and overconfidence biases are not so unpopular among investors in Vietnam

market. We hope this Presentation will help reduce such biases.

The fact: foreign, not domestic investors, are driving market sentiment

▪ Although domestic investors account for ~75% trading value, it is foreign investors who drive the

market sentiment.

▪ The VN-Index has moved in tandem with the changes in net foreign flows.

▪ So what are behind this story?

Do domestic investors bother with business fundamental factors?

▪ Local was net selling even on fundamental-improving periods but recently (YTD2019), local has

been on net selling given the weakening corporate fundamental

▪ While foreign investors keep their momentum in the first 2 months of 2019 despite the weakening

corporate earnings

▪ Banking Stocks as example: Price is leading at normally 3-month’s time! Earnings Growth is

normally 1-quarter leading to the price performance. Is this the result of good forecasting

capability or an issue of inside information?

▪ Local was selling while foreign was buying since early 2017. Banking earnings is facing

headwinds actually (but not all banks)

▪ But broker’s forecast still indicated an impressive earnings growth for 2019. Our database

produced Basic EPS Growth at 18.2% for 2019 (banks: 19.7% and non-banks: 17.4%). So we

believe the sellside brokers will have to watch closely in order to revise or update their

Vietnam.

▪ The current low levels of M2 have typically meant poor future returns in the very short time. Lagging

time is 2 months from our statistical test

Liquidity: Margin Loan getting up recently3

Note: Trading value by Retail investors is the sum of Buy value and Sell value

How is the Margin Loan supporting the Local Retail Investors?

▪ Retail margin lending to marcap is a useful greed and fear proxy like in any markets but in Vietnam

it is far more important as approximately 75% of daily trading value made by retail investors and .

▪ Margin loan tends to increase recently and mostly from increased capital by new coming brokers

(Mirae Asset, KBSV etc.). Local brokers tends to cut down actually (Margin Loan/Owner’s Capital

down from 78.8% in 2017 to 69.6% in 2018 while the cap is 200%)
