The total number of securities trading accounts in Vietnam reached over 14.13 million as of September 30, 2026, an increase of 1.76% from the end of August, according to market data.
Domestic individual investors accounted for 244,505 of the new accounts, representing almost the entire monthly increase. By comparison, the number of domestic institutional accounts rose by just 180.
The figures show that the continued expansion of Vietnam’s investor base is being driven overwhelmingly by domestic retail investors rather than institutions. Nearly 245,000 accounts were added in September, with domestic accounts accounting for more than 99.8% of the increase.
By the end of September, domestic individual investors held around 14 million accounts, accounting for approximately 99.48% of all domestic investor accounts and continuing to represent the overwhelming majority of market participants, in terms of account numbers.
Foreign investors recorded a much smaller increase. Their total number of securities accounts rose by only 264 during September to 52,897.
