Professional financial advisors create stability for the system

With 85% of stock market transactions being carried out by individual investors, the role of financial advisors and asset managers is increasingly important. A team of professional financial advisors not only supports investors but more importantly, creates trust and stability for the financial system.

On the afternoon of September 25th, the third Vietnam Financial Advisors Summit - 2025 (VWAS) officially opened with the theme "New Era, New Momentum".

This is an annual forum organized by the Finance - Investment Newspaper and the Vietnam Financial Advisors Community (VWA), under the patronage of the Ministry of Finance .

Deputy Minister of Finance Nguyen Thi Bich Ngoc delivered a speech.

Speaking at the forum, Deputy Minister of Finance Nguyen Thi Bich Ngoc said that the world continues to face difficulties and challenges from trade tensions, geopolitical conflicts, and prolonged political instability in some countries and regions. Many major economies have had to adjust and loosen monetary and fiscal policies to support growth.

In Vietnam, 2025 marks a new era of national development. The government has set an ambitious economic growth target amidst global and regional economic fluctuations, aiming for 8.3-8.5% this year and working towards double-digit growth in the following years.

While emphasizing that this is a challenge, Deputy Minister Nguyen Thi Bich Ngoc stated that, under the direction of the Government, both fiscal and monetary policies are moving in an expansionary direction to provide maximum support for economic development.

According to the Deputy Minister, looking towards a new era, the Vietnamese financial market is facing important transformations, most notably a series of institutional breakthroughs. The stock market is on the verge of being upgraded, crypto assets are being legalized, and the National Assembly has also issued a Resolution on establishing an international financial center in Vietnam…

Along with urgently finalizing and submitting to the Government for approval eight decrees related to financial centers by ministries, sectors, and localities, the government is also aggressively building an ecosystem to support them. The goal is not only to form modern financial zones but also to connect Vietnam's financial network with the region and the world, gradually making Vietnam an attractive destination on the international financial map.

Overview of the forum.

According to the Knight Frank Wealth Report 2025, there are currently approximately 5,459 Vietnamese individuals with a net worth exceeding $10 million, ranking sixth in Southeast Asia. Along with the goal of achieving double-digit economic growth in the coming period, the average income of the Vietnamese people is expected to increase by 7-9% per year.

Statistics show that 85% of transactions on the Vietnamese stock market are conducted by individual investors. The need to improve financial literacy in general, and enhance the capabilities of investors in particular, is crucial for the healthy and sustainable development of Vietnam's financial market and economy.

In a context of intertwined variables and opportunities, Deputy Minister Nguyen Thi Bich Ngoc affirmed the crucial role of professional financial advisors. They serve as a bridge to help investors identify variables, build suitable asset portfolios, and manage risks effectively; more importantly, they foster confidence and stability within the entire financial system.

"The Ministry of Finance highly appreciates the contributions of financial advisors, securities companies, fund management companies, banks, and insurance companies in developing a healthy and sustainable financial market," Deputy Minister Nguyen Thi Bich Ngoc affirmed, while committing the Ministry to work alongside them to build a transparent, efficient, and sustainable financial system, especially one closely linked to the international market.

At the forum, delegates discussed two topics: "The stock market facing new opportunities" and "Breakthrough points in Vietnam's real estate and cryptocurrency markets," aiming to clarify the prospects of these markets and provide recommendations for investors.

Honoring businesses for their contribution to the development of financial services in 2025.

Also within the framework of the forum, with the desire to support investors in finding professional and well-structured financial advisors and to provide them with more information and criteria for selecting financial brokerage products and services, contributing to building a transparent, systematic, and professional investment community, the Organizing Committee continues to honor organizations/businesses for their contributions to the development of financial services and to honor outstanding financial products/services in 2025.

The judging panel announced six categories of honor, including: Outstanding Priority Customer Service; Outstanding Financial Brokerage Service; Outstanding Investment Asset Management Service; Outstanding Technology and Digital Transformation Product; Outstanding Innovative Personal Finance Solution; and Insurance Product that Best Meets Financial Protection Needs.
