Hanoi (VNS/VNA) - Domestic and foreign funds have disbursed up to 5.84trillion VND (24.69 billion USD) in the first half of 2023 after the capitalflow of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) returned to the market last month,according to a report by SSI Securities Corporation.

ETFs modestly net purchased 257 billion VND.

The report revealed that in June, the net selling value of domestic ETFs shrankto 95.4 billion VND. The capital inflows into VNDiamond Fund and VNFin Leadwere primarily attributed to the improvements.

Particularly, VNDiamond received roughly 156 billion VND from the Thailandstock exchange, while VNFin Lead disbursed more than 32.5 billion VND on anoutstanding profit margin.

However, ETFs that use the VN30 Index as a benchmark continue to see massivenet withdrawals, with VFM VN30 seeing a net outflow of 275 billion VND.

For the foreign ETFs, Fubon ETF suffered a net sell of VN23 billion due to alacklustre performance in the Taiwan market. Meanwhile, Vaneck Fund and FTSEVietnam saw significant net purchases of VNĐ279 billion and 170.7 billion VND,respectively.

However, ETFs, which are using the VN30 Index as a base, continued to witnesshuge amounts of net withdrawal, such as VFM VN30 had a net withdrawal of 275billion VND.

Thai Thi Viet Trinh, a senior macro analyst at SSI, said that the cash flowtrend of ETFs depends more on the sentiment of retail investors. In the past,large cash inflows were only seen when the market corrected strongly oruptrends were confirmed.

Compared to regional markets such as Taiwan (China), the Republic of Korea, orJapan, the VN-Index currently does not have an appealing growth rate, so it isa challenge to attract new foreign capital, Trinh added.

She also said that the Vietnamese stock market is currently in a transitionphase and most of the difficulties of the economy in the second half of 2022have also been already reflected in the market.

But Trinh warned that the divergence in monetary policy could create netwithdrawal pressure on funds, especially in the case of strong fluctuations inthe exchange rate.

Moreover, the structure of industrial groupings on the stock market iscurrently undiversified, making it difficult for capital flows to diversifyinvestment portfolios./.
