SSI Chairman Nguyen Duy Hung Emphasizes 'Trust in Motion' in 2025 Annual Report to More Than 128,000 SSI Shareholders

SSI Securities Joint Stock Company has published its 2025 annual report, opening with a message from Chairman of the Board Nguyen Duy Hung. He said the report is guided by the spirit of “Trust in Motion—Trust in Motion,” emphasizing that trust in finance cannot be bought quickly and is built through consistently doing the right things over time.

Chairman highlights focus on growth quality and system capability

Nguyen Duy Hung noted that the past year saw a volatile market and challenging industry competition. While technology accelerated the pace of business, it also spread mistakes faster when underlying foundations were not solid. In this context, SSI chose a familiar but difficult approach: not chasing short-term enthusiasm, but prioritizing growth quality and system capability.

He said “system capability” is not a technology slogan but a set of concrete disciplines. These include:

• Risk governance discipline: growth must operate within clearly defined limits; discipline should not be “surprised” by market conditions.
• Transparency and standards: shareholders and the market need clear, consistent, and verifiable information.
• Technology and automation: not for show, but to reduce errors, speed up processes, improve stability, and enhance customer experience—especially during highly volatile periods.
• People: customers build trust through every interaction, with each broker and professional and support function contributing to that trust.

The chairman added that SSI has gone through multiple market cycles and that each cycle reinforces the same lesson: taking the “long way” does not require much talk, but requires doing things very well. When executed properly, opportunities can come in a more sustainable and cleaner manner.
