By selling Vingroup shares prematurely, the South Korean fund "lost" 38,000 billion VND.

(Dan Tri Newspaper) - In recent days, Vingroup's VIC shares have been rising continuously following a series of positive news. Many individual investors express regret for not boldly buying VIC shares at double-digit prices.

Perhaps the biggest "regret" comes from the South Korean investment fund SK Group. After six years of involvement, SK Group sold its investment in Vingroup right at the peak of the rally, before VIC shares entered their strongest growth phase in history.

According to the recently published 2025 semi-annual report, SK Investment Vina II Pte. Ltd, a subsidiary of Vingroup, recorded the sale of all its Vingroup (VIC) shares on August 5th. This divestment took place amidst a sharp 5.7% increase in VIC shares to VND 117,500 per share.

This is not the first time SK has reduced its stake in Vingroup. From January 16th to February 14th, SK Investment Vina II also sold over 50.8 million VIC shares to restructure its portfolio. At that time, VIC shares were trading around 40,000 VND per share.

Immediately after Vingroup increased its capital, the stock price surged continuously, currently standing at 160,000 VND per share.

Compared to the price at which SK divested its stake earlier this year, VIC's value has now increased eightfold. This means the South Korean conglomerate has "lost" approximately 38,000 billion VND.

With a 700% increase since the beginning of the year, VIC is currently the strongest performing stock in the VN30 index and among the leading stocks in the entire market.

Vingroup's market capitalization currently stands at 1,233 trillion VND - 2.5 times that of the second-ranked entity, Vietcombank . Billionaire Pham Nhat Vuong's net worth exceeds 28 billion USD, and his wife, Pham Thu Huong, is also among the top 5 richest people in Vietnam with assets of 54,600 billion VND (approximately 2.1 billion USD).
