Guotai Junan Securities (Vietnam) Corp., listed on the Hanoi Stock Exchange as IVS, operates as a securities company in Vietnam, providing a range of financial and investment services. The firm's core offerings include securities brokerage, investment advisory, proprietary trading, margin trading, securities depository, and underwriting services for securities issuance. It serves both individual and institutional customers, offering investment products like Loc Phat and G-bonds, alongside corporate finance consultancy for events such as mergers, acquisitions, and equity offerings.
The company was established in 2007, originally named Vietnam Investment Securities Co (also referred to as VNS Securities JSC). It was renamed Guotai Junan Securities (Vietnam) Joint Stock Company on July 16, 2021. A significant milestone occurred in October 2019 when Guotai Junan International Holdings Limited, a Hong Kong-based entity, acquired a 50.97% ownership stake, making the Vietnamese firm a subsidiary. This parent company, Guotai Junan International (1788.HK), was established in Hong Kong in 1993 and is a key player in the internationalization of Chinese securities firms.
The company's business model is centered on generating revenue from its comprehensive suite of financial services. To expand its operational capacity, particularly in margin lending and derivatives, the company has undertaken significant capital increases. In March 2024, it announced a plan to double its charter capital, with 75% of the proceeds allocated to margin lending activities. The firm aims to leverage its connection with the parent group to attract foreign institutional investors from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore to the Vietnamese stock market.
