A strong foundation matched with situational flexibility drove vcsc to maintain the position of industry-leading profitability
With momentum from previous years, VCSC earned remarkable growth in the securities brokerage segment in 2015, with an 8.39% market share on HSX, an increase by 29% from 2014. Revenue from the securities brokerage soared by 17% vs. 2014 to VND336 billion.
To sum up, VCSC’s revenue reached VND706 billion, up 14% from 2014, exceeding our target by 42%. Meanwhile, profit after tax was VND239 billion, up 65% from 2014, exceeding our target by 53%. Therefore, VCSC successfully maintained its position of industry-leading profitability with ROE of 32.7%. Investment Banking continued to be the driving force in creating numerous opportunities for the whole company. We succeeded in a great number of big advisory deals in fields including agriculture, real estate and distribution.
investing in vertical growth and focusing on human resource quality to build the foundation for sustainable inner strength
Our sustained growth is a result of our continuous investment in human resources. We hire, retain and develop the best individuals and use our corporate culture to instill a sense of shared values and mission, to ensure that these individuals work toward common goals. Our people-oriented development strategy is implemented through our merit-based remuneration policy, professional and soft skill training, team-bonding initiatives and the management team’s dedication to form an enthusiastic and devoted workforce, which together brings success not only to itself but also to VCSC’s clients, partners and shareholders.
In 2015, VCSC continued its remarkable development
with tenacity and high growth rates. This enabled
the Company to exceed what it achieved the
previous year and provided further validation of our
strategic focus on not only improving the stability of the core businesses but also boosting our inner strength to the fullest.
the vietnam stock market achieved modest gains and was strongly impacted by domestic and global macro-economic factors
The VN-Index ended the year with a modest gain of 6.1%, with liquidity declining by 16% vs. 2014. The market experienced various complications and was greatly influenced by global macro-economic uncertainties. Vietnam’s economy, however, did have several positive aspects and showed a strong recovery in numerous fields, achieving considerable growth rates compared to the set target and compared to those of the previous years from 2011 to 2015. Furthermore, solutions to push market development such as Circular 36, increasing foreign ownership limits (FOL), billing cycle, etc. were put into practice to minimize the negative factors from the mentioned-above uncertainties.
Investing in human resources will always be one of the top priorities in our long-term development strategy.

five years. Multinational corporations relocating manufacturing into Vietnam will help the nation’s exports to gain more market share in global trade, overcoming difficulties due to sluggish global demand.
However, 2016 will witness more risks owing to monetary policies. Inflation is projected to rise to 3.5% at year-end due to the strong domestic growth trend and credit growth. The devaluation of the VND will hike the cost-push factor and put also pressure on inflation. Interest rates likely bottomed in 2015 and will probably edge up by 1% in 2016. This will also have a significant impact on the growth of the financial and securitites market.
taking initiatives, overcoming challenges, and joining forces for the sustainable growth of the vietnam stock market
The Vietnam stock market continues to have enormous upside potential in 2016. Vietnam GDP is forecast to expand this year equivalent to last year’s 6.7% growth. The manufacturing sector will maintain its leading role in boosting growth on the back of strong FDI flows as Vietnam starts to take off as an attractive investment destination. The country has continuously signed several FTAs, such as the TPP and Vietnam – EU FTA. Strong FDI inflows will increase new job opportunities with high salaries, thereby boosting consumer confidence and spending in 2016. Moreover, consumer confidence has been healthy the past four quarters; retail sales growth in 2015 was 8.4%, the highest in the past
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to express my gratitude to our valued shareholders, clients, and all of our employees for VCSC’s success in 2015. I strongly believe that with dedication and purpose, together we will bring far more prosperity not only to VCSC but also to the country, through our contribution in developing the Vietnam stock market.
NGUYEN THANH PHUONG Chairperson
Opportunities and challenges always go hand in hand, thus, we must be well-prepared for a new path and together build a dynamic Vietnam stock market that integrates into the world economy and becomes an important part of the overall development of Vietnam’s economy

Following the “breaking barriers”
achievements in 2014, VCSC
continued to see remarkable profit
growth in 2015 compared to 2014
and against the target set at the Annual General
Meeting.
10.2% and staffing soared by 17.1% as of December 31, 2015 from a year earlier to support business expansion.
Profit growth rates not only finished higher than VCSC’s historical figures but also were record highs among leading securities firms in the market, proof of the precise and sharp decisions made by VCSC’ management last year, along with the efforts of the whole staff while the global and Vietnamese markets experienced strong volatility during 2015. The total trading value of both the HSX and HNX plunged by 15.8% in 2015 and both the VNI-Index and the HNX-Index showed less positive performances: the VN-Index ended the year up by only 6.1% from a gain of 8.1% in 2014, while the HNX-Index decreased by 3.6% in 2015 after an increase of 22.3% in 2014.
Given the size of the balance sheet’s components, VCSC did not carry out charter capital raising in 2015. Equity rocketed by 33.1% from 2014 due to retained earnings, while total assets grew by only 11.1%. This made a remarkable contribution to enhancing the Company’s financial safety ratios. The gross leverage ratio continued to decline to 2.16x from 2.79x in 2014 and 2.92x in 2013. Meanwhile, the CAR ratio kept improving to 336% from 319% in 2014.

trAining is short-terM investMents thAt bring long-terM benefits
In the past years, VCSC’s employees have been encouraged and supported financially to enter the following courses:
» securities practice certificate: To ensure that professional employees have the certificates required by the SSC.
» certified financial Analyst (cfA) certificate: Business staff who would like to take CFA exams are fully sponsored.

We believe that in order to retain and develop talent, apart
from a merit-based remuneration policy, it is essential to provide each employee with opportunities for personal development. That requires us to create the right evaluation instruments and inspire managers to delegate work that matches each individual’s competence, thereby encouraging our employees to pursue innovative thinking and self-improvement. These opportunities are also provided through interactions with colleagues, partners and clients in accordance with each employee’s job responsibility.

Along with courses provided by training centers, internal training is also used and constantly improved upon. Internal training includes orientation, broker training and analyst training, among others. Furthermore, other departments are also encouraged and supported to take part in these professional courses.
In addition, in order to improve living standards and create a positive working environment, we focus on soft skill training for all of our employees. Soft skills enhance one’s interaction, productivity and career potential. A workshop named “Unleash Your Potential Through Team Engagement” was successfully conducted in 2015 and is expected to bring in long-term positive changes, helping our employees improve both their work and personal relationships. Other soft skill training programs such as effective communication, presentation, negotiation and leadership are also carried out annually by esteemed training centers in Vietnam.
We invest in our recruitment process, which is conducted with care to choose those with the most relevant knowledge and expertise to succeed in the firm. Career guidance and job recruitment seminars are also carried out at top universities in Vietnam such as Foreign Trade University (FTU) and RMIT University Vietnam. The selected young talent are offered to join trainee programs, experience a professional work environment and prove their competence to become full-time employees, which is why VCSC’s staff is constantly

attention. Having determined that opportunities for promotion are the best ways to motivate our employees to develop and contribute, since our establishment, we have created a system to evaluate our employees in each position, which continues to be improved to ensure rewards are aligned with actual performance. There were 18 employees that were promoted in 2015.

individuAl strength leAds to resilience of the

Corporate culture is a crucial bridge
between the Company and its
human resources. We help each
employee to realize their value
to the company so that everyone
works together to overcome challenges.
Our team is a group with different expertise coming from various
parts of the world such as the USA, France, England, Australia, Canada and India, which forms a diverse work environment. Thus, to gain efficient communication and understanding, we encourage multilateral and equal interaction within the Company. Feedback among divisions and ranks in the company improves productivity and ensures that employees feel positively engaged in their work.
Furthermore, the securities industry, though still in its early stage of development, has been strengthening its position in the Vietnam financial market structure and is full of upside potential as well as rising competition, which requires flexible responsiveness toward changes. Thus, we always encourage creativity and support to put initiatives into practice.
Social activities are periodically undertaken for the whole staff to relax and get to know each other. Such activities include recreational events, sports and group activities, which are for not only VCSC’s staff but also their families. Recently VCSC has carried out “VCSC Family Day”, where our staff and their families interact and find out more about the place where their spouses are working.
moreover, 2!vcsc, the company’s internal magazine, continues to act as a communication channel to share information within the company.

2015 inflation came in at only 0.6% as the transportation category for the first time posted a double-digit drop on annual average basis. However, a five-year high in real retail sales growth and rising spending on discretionary goods (reflected by the impressive growth of auto sales and apartment sales) showed that low inflation was mainly due to the absence of cost-push effects rather than weakening demand.
Inflation hit a 14-year low as global commodity prices, particularly oil prices, continued plunging.
Despite falling 6% against the uS dollar, the dong was among the best performing currencies in the region

global eventsglobal oil prices plunged 35% to end 2015 below us$40/bbl. Low oil prices reduced Vietnam’s fiscal revenue from oil sales although increased tax collections made up the shortfall. At the same time, falling fuel prices boosted consumer confidence and spending while sending inflation to a 14-year low.
most commodity prices witnessed further weakness. From iron ore to rubber, from rice to aquatic products, the plunge of commodity prices caused contraction in Vietnam’s agricultural shipments.
the us fed delivered its first interest rate hike since 2006. Anticipation of the Fed rate hike sparked capital outflows from emerging markets, including Vietnam. It also strengthened the dollar, putting pressure on the dong and most currencies around the globe.
china’s stock market volatility caused turmoil across global financial markets. The Shanghai composite rose 60% through June 12, but by September 30 it had given back all its gains and was actually down 5% y-t-d. The sell-off in China greatly dampened investors’ sentiment towards emerging markets. On the ‘Black Monday’ August 24, when the Shanghai Composite fell 8.5%, the VN-Index lost 29.37 pts, the second biggest loss since HSX’s trading band expansion from 5% to 7% in 2013.
china rocked global currency markets with an unprecedented yuan devaluation. The PBOC devalued the yuan by 5% over three days in August in a bid to kick-start slowing growth. This sent most Asian currencies tumbling. Vietnam’s central bank promptly responded by devaluing the dong by 1% and widening the trading band by 2%.
the eu bailed-out greece to prevent it from exiting the eu. Tension from the Greek debt crisis peaked in Q1 when the country signaled the possibility of exiting the Eurozone. Fears of contagion across the Eurozone made Asian markets, such as Vietnam, appear comparatively stable.

vietnam signed or concluded negotiations on major free trade agreements. 2015 marked a cornerstone in Vietnam’s aggressive pursuit of trade liberalization policy with the draft conclusion of the long-awaited TPP. Furthermore, many free trade agreements with important trading partners were inked, including Vietnam-EU FTA, Vietnam-Korea FTA, Vietnam-Eurasia FTA and the ASEAN Economic Community agreements came into effect.
circular 36 regulating credit limits and safety assurance ratios of credit institutions came into effect. Rumors that Circular 36 could be delayed proved untrue and it took effect on schedule in an effort to clean up bank balance sheets, reduce cross-holdings and enhance the system-wide health.
decree 60 provided for increased foreign ownership limits on listed companies. This highly-anticipated regulatory change should improve market liquidity and is a step toward upgrading Vietnam from frontier to emerging market status. Only one company actually raised its FOL in 2015, but clarifications on the degree’s provisions are expected to lead to several others in 2016.
m&A activities reached a record-high. Some sizable deals in 2015, such as Modelez acquiring Kinh Do confectionery and Fairfax Asia becoming a strategic investor of BIDV insurance, demonstrated the strong foreign appetite to invest in Vietnam’s growing economy.
the amended investment law came into effect. The amended Investment Law modified the definition of a foreign-invested enterprise as a foreign-invested economic organization (FIEO) with 51% or more of its charter capital held by foreign individual or institutional investors. Moreover, the Law opened up of more investment fields by reducing the number of prohibited business activities from 51 to 6 activities, and the number of conditional business activities from 386 to 267.
the new housing law expanded foreign property ownership. Foreigners (both institutions and individuals) are now allowed to purchase and own residential units, both landed and condominium for maximum 50 years (extension are available). Foreigners can also buy and sublet the properties.

Investment banking in Vietnam has so far only consisted of conventional deals such as M&As, restructuring, divestments, capital and debt issues, corporate separations, listings, privatizations or IPOs. Underwriting is not available due to the limit of the market size and the consultancy firms’ capital size as well as concerns over costs from issuers.
The Vietnam economy posting a growth of 6.7%, a record high in the past 5 years, exceeding the set target and forecasts, the stable macro-economy and Vietnam’s integrating more and more into the world
economy provided the grounds for many M&As and capital issues to fulfill the set targets for 2015, in which there were a great amount of deals consulted by VCSC team. Aside from holding the leading position in providing M&A consultancy service for the food and essential consumer goods industries (the “spotlight” of this kind of this service in Vietnam so far), in 2015, we took initiatives and succeeded in the “emerging” and cyclic areas, i.e. agriculture, real estate and distribution, on the back of facilitated bank loan flows and Vietnam’s integration into the world market accelerated by the Government.
The Vietnamese economy posted growth of 6.7%, a five-year high, exceeding targets and forecasts. A stable macro-economy

VCSC’s capability to hold investment conferences and seminars has been affirmed with the successful Vietnam Access Day (VAD) events since in 2012. We are proud that Vietnam Access Day is the largest investment conference in Vietnam, a place to connect leading domestic enterprises with international investors. This is also where several notable M&As were triggered, contributing to facilitating flows, introducing Vietnam market’s products as well as attracting foreign investment.
Determining the potential of Vietnam’s market and foreigners’ interest in the condition where domestic investment information is supplied with limits, VCSC
proactively acts as a bridge between potential investors and local companies. Connecting activities for these two groups are frequently held in several industries like real estate, energy, banking, industrial production, etc. The investors and companies invited to meetings are carefully selected to ensure optimal resource allocation and maximize the effectiveness for all the participants. All the talks and meetings organized by VCSC help improve the transparency of information, provide a multi-dimensional perspective, thereby aiding investors in making effective investment decisions.
We have doubled the capacity for this kind of service. In 2015, VCSC successfully conducted 600 corporate meetings. In its investor survey, AsiaMoney voted VCSC as one of the two best corporate meeting organizers and best brokerage service suppliers in Vietnam.
2015 was the first year for us to bring this event’s miniature to Tokyo (Japan) with the cooperation of Libertad KK to introduce the investment environment and potential companies in Vietnam. Such an event attracted over 120 Japanese retail and institutional investors, and gave special attention to the 6 (six) top companies in Vietnam that VCSC connects to, whose fields are considered to have promising
upside potential, i.e. infrastructure, technology, media, food, retail and real estate. This is also regarded as a particularly meaningful opportunity for all the participants to interact and understand one another, setting the foundation for cooperation agreements in the future, especially in the context where both Vietnam and Japan are among beneficiaries of Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Furthermore, Vietnam is labelled a bright investment destination in the region, a “rising star” among emerging markets. This event to be held abroad was an important milestone that proves VCSC’s capacity and prestige among regional and global investment community.

The Vietnam stock market in 2015 did not perform as well as it did in 2014 both in terms of price and liquidity. The volatility was quite strong due to the impact of global and regional events, such as China’s currency devaluation, the Fed’s interest rate policy and highly fluctuating oil prices. In addition, a great portion of closed-end funds founded in 2006-2007 in Vietnam reached maturity and put pressure on the market. In such a condition, fund management faced several difficulties, reflected by the fact that although there
were 50 fund management companies registered, up from 43 in 2014, only 42 were in normal operation (Source: State securities commission of Vietnam).
Meanwhile, Viet Capital Asset Management continued to be profitable and earned a profit of VND3.9bn that was 2.7x that of 2014 thanks to its financial flexibility. It currently manages three funds, which are Viet Capital Healthcare Fund (VCHF), Viet Capital Balanced Fund (VCAMBF) and Viet Capital Education Investment.

VIETNAm’S outlook for 2016
VCSC expects continued strength

Vietnam’s GDp growth of 6.8%. The industry
and construction sector will continue to drive economic growth
with the manufacturing subsector being the main catalyst on the heels of persistently strong capital inflow
from MnCs.
VCSC expects continued strength in the economy into 2016 and forecasts Vietnam’s GDP growth of 6.8%. The industry and construction sector will continue to drive economic growth with the manufacturing subsector being the main catalyst on the heels of persistently strong capital inflow from MNCs. We believe that the FDI channeled into Vietnam’s export-oriented manufacturing will continue to surge this year as Vietnam concluded critical free trade agreements, including the TPP and Vietnam-EU FTA and also got a boost in intra-regional FDI due to the newly created ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) free trade zone.
Meanwhile, the firm recovery of domestic demand is convincing enough for us to pencil in high growth for the service sector in 2016. The aggressive set-up of foreign-invested enterprises in the non-farm sector will be an important
stimulus for consumer spending, keeping consumer confidence at an elevated level.
However, 2016 will be a year of more prudent monetary policy. Inflation is expected to come back but at a manageable pace of less than 5% as oil prices start to recover in the second half of the year and domestic demand starts to hit up against supply-side constraints. Interest rates also hit bottom last year and are forecast to nudge up in 2016. Meanwhile, the new exchange rate mechanism as well as more stringent forex market management is helping to counter the volatility of global currency markets.

Moderate increases in interest rates and
inflation may keep valuation multiples
in check, but strong earnings growth should drive many companies’ shares to perform well.
Although uncertainties in the global economy will continue to put downward pressure on Vietnam’s stock markets, domestic growth and stability should make 2016 a good year overall especially relative to other markets in the region.
Moderate increases in interest rates and inflation may keep valuation multiples in check, but strong earnings growth should drive many companies’ shares to perform well. VCSC particularly likes companies which benefit from Vietnam’s strong increase in retail sales and consumer confidence, such as retail and FMCG, as well as companies
in sectors that benefit from our increasing trade, manufacturing and foreign investment, including industrial park operators, logistics companies, power suppliers.
Improvements in market liquidity may also help to improve valuations in the long-term. This should be aided by increases in foreign ownership limits under the new regulations and by an increasing number of equitizations and listings, thereby expanding the overall market breadth and depth and thereby providing new investment opportunities.

The Board of Management of the Company is responsible for the preparation and the true and fair presentation of these separate financial statements in accordance with Vietnamese Accounting Standards, the Vietnamese Corpo-rate Accounting System and prevailing regulations on preparation and presentation of financial statements appli-cable to securities companies operating in Vietnam and for such internal control which management determines is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of separate financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
AuDItor’S reSponSIBIlIty
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the separate financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Vietnamese Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical standards and requirements, plan and perform the audit in order to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the separate financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the sepa-rate financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including an assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the separate financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal controls relevant to the entity’s preparation and true and fair presentation of the separate financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting esti-mates made by the Board of Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the separate financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
