Notably, since entering the derivatives market nearly three years ago, DNSE has expanded its market share at a rapid pace. This marks the ninth consecutive quarter in which DNSE has posted growth in derivatives brokerage market share.

Just over a year ago, DNSE first broke into the Top 2 in derivatives brokerage market share, reaching 9.98% in Q4 2024. Compared with its current position, DNSE’s derivatives market share has increased 2.5 times in just five quarters.

According to DNSE’s leaders, the company’s technology-focused strategy has delivered clear results in the derivatives business over the past three years. This has also become one of the strategic “keys” enabling DNSE to pave the way for growth in its underlying securities market share.

In the underlying securities segment, DNSE also ranked among the Top 10 brokerage firms by equity market share on the UPCoM market in Q1 2026, with a 2.49% share.

Ms. Nguyen Ngoc Linh - Chief Executive Officer of DNSE, shared at the company’s recent Annual General Meeting of Shareholders that, as Vietnam’s stock market moves toward the implementation of same-day trading (T0), investor behavior in the underlying market is expected to gradually converge with the current behavior seen in the derivatives market - fast, flexible trading that capitalizes on short-term market movements. Therefore, DNSE has been investing heavily in technology infrastructure, user experience, and the expansion of its derivatives customer base as a strategic preparation for the transition toward the underlying market.

DNSE’s leadership expects that when market conditions become favorable and the T0 product is officially introduced, supported by system stability and a commitment to the lowest trading latency in the market, a large portion of its existing derivatives clients will shift to trading underlying securities. At the same time, the company also expects to attract more large-scale investors.

This year, DNSE has set a target of VND 1,736 billion in total revenue, up 18.2%, and VND 550 billion in profit before tax, up 61.8% year-on-year. This technology-driven securities firm currently has 1.6 million customer accounts and consistently ranks among the top firms in terms of newly opened securities accounts.

In the derivatives segment, DNSE holds a competitive edge thanks to its fast order-processing speed, stable system, and smart trading management tools such as profit and loss alerts, as well as automatic take-profit and stop-loss functions based on customizable strategies. These features enable investors to respond promptly to market fluctuations and optimize trading efficiency.

In addition, DNSE has also focused on building an investor community through its “Surfing Derivatives” competition, a recurring event with continuously refreshed formats and attractive prizes.

Starting from March 30, 2026, the program officially returned with an upgraded version running through December 31, 2026, with a total prize pool of up to VND 370 million. A notable new feature is that the ranking system has been split into two categories—professional investors (Pro) and new investors (Newbie)—giving participants a fairer opportunity to compete and win attractive prizes.

In particular, once a month, the “Live Battle” edition of Surfing Derivatives is broadcast live, offering the investor community the opportunity to follow and learn the strategies of top traders in the derivatives market. The grand final of the competition is expected to be held live on stage at DNSE’s annual Future Tech Summit event at the end of 2026.

Not only has DNSE expanded its derivatives business through superior technology, but it has also demonstrated strong efforts to introduce new and creative approaches, broaden the scale and influence of the derivatives investor community, and thereby build momentum for further gains in the underlying securities market in the time ahead.
