Derivatives prepare to welcome VN100 futures contract in October

According to information from the Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX), after a period of careful preparation and successful testing, the VN100 Index Futures Contract product is expected to be launched and traded in October 2025.

VN100 index futures contract is the second product in the stock index line on the Vietnamese derivatives market.

This contract is designed with the same trading and payment features as the VN30 Index Futures product that has been operating in the market for 8 years to ensure easy access for investors.

The difference between the two products is that the underlying assets are chosen differently.

The VN30 index was selected as the underlying asset in 2017 as a product suitable for the market conditions at that time. Up to now, based on the actual development conditions of the Vietnamese stock market, considering and expanding derivative products on larger-scale indices is necessary and appropriate, ensuring the development roadmap of products on the derivatives market as set out.

The VN100 index has good representation for the market, with a capitalization value of over 95% of the VNAllshare basket and the influence of the top stocks in the basket is not dominant (the top 10 stocks only account for 47.62% of the entire basket).

The stocks in the VN100 basket are selected from the combination of the VN30 index and the top stocks in the VNMidcap basket, so they combine many outstanding features of these indexes: good growth, high representativeness, good liquidity, high dispersion, so they are in line with the recommendations of international organizations on indexes.
