Maybank Investment Bank Vietnam (MSVN) has completed a nearly VND1.3 trillion ($49.4 million) capital injection as it seeks to expand margin lending and transition from a traditional brokerage model to a comprehensive wealth management platform.
The latest increase raises the company’s charter capital by 59%, from VND2.2 trillion to nearly VND3.5 trillion ($133 million), marking its sixth capital hike since operations began in 2007 with initial capital of VND200 billion. This means after 19 years of development, the company’s charter capital has increased more than 17 times.

Kim Thien Quang, CEO of MSVN, said the capital injection was a strategic step toward implementing Maybank’s ROAR30 vision in Vietnam. The additional funding will strengthen the firm’s ability to channel investment capital, reinforce its role as a bridge between Vietnam and ASEAN markets, and accelerate its transformation into a full-service wealth advisory platform.
The executive added that progress toward an upgrade of Vietnam’s stock market classification is expected to create new growth opportunities and attract additional domestic and international investment flows.
MSVN is a member unit of Maybank Investment Banking Group (Maybank IBG), the investment banking arm of Malaysia’s Maybank, one of Southeast Asia’s largest banking groups by assets, with operations across Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam, as well as in Hong Kong, India and London.
As of the end of Q1/2026, MSVN reported total assets of nearly VND6.78 trillion ($257.46 million), including VND5.51 trillion in loans and an investment portfolio worth around VND666 billion ($25.3 million).
The portfolio is primarily invested in bonds and term deposits with maturities exceeding three months. Equity holdings totalled VND91.2 billion ($3.46 million) and were concentrated in shares of FPT Corp, Hoa Phat Group, Mobile World, Sacombank and VPBank.
The brokerage has maintained relatively stable financial performance in recent years. Revenue increased from VND620 billion in 2022 to VND891 billion ($33.85 million) in 2025, while annual net profit generally ranged between VND200 billion and VND220 billion ($8.36 million) before declining to VND179 billion in 2025.
