Vietnam’s stock market has been through over two decades of development with rapid expansion of market size. Currently, the number of investors has reached more than 2.3 million accounts, including nearly 30,000 foreign investors' accounts. Additionally, there are about 5,000 brokers working in securities companies and thousands of independent brokers.

However, the main differentiation amongst securities companies lies in the quality of research, investment advisory and margin loans to its customers.

According to a survey by FiinGroup with the customers of 10 largest securities companies in Vietnam, online transactions currently accounts for 85% of trading order execution. The remaining 15% is executed through telephones or direct order at the trading floors like 10 years ago.

That investing in systems and knowledge for broker consultants can be a way to keep talented employees amid tough competition in the financial service industry.

“Investors are no longer completely dependent on brokers and they have higher requirements on brokers for information provided and effective investment advisory. The transfer from traditional brokers to professional customer consultants is indispensable. Therefore, when FiinTrade Platform was launched, we were immediately impressed by its features with user-friendly interface, aggregate information and especially in English and Vietnamese languages. I firmly believe that using FiinTrade platform, broker team of KIS Vietnam will be more professional and work more effectively! After equipping KIS's brokers with FiinTrade platform, we will consider the possibility of providing it for foreign customers who are trading at KIS Vietnam, too!”, Mr Lee Hun Woo – Operations Manager, KIS Vietnam Securities informed.
