SSI Securities (SSI) reported that its 2025 average pay for employees ranks among the highest in Vietnam’s financial sector, exceeding remuneration levels at several large banks. The company’s 2025 annual report shows that by the end of 2025 SSI had 1,433 employees, down 120 from end-2024.
In 2025, SSI spent nearly 1,125 billion VND on labor. This equated to average pay of about 785 million VND per employee per year, or roughly 65 million VND per employee per month.
SSI’s pay levels also outpaced many major banks. For 2025, VietinBank paid an average of over 53.6 million VND per employee per month, BIDV 50.9 million, MB 49.9 million, while Vietcombank paid around 47.7 million per month.
The higher remuneration at SSI is linked to its strong operating results in 2025. For the full year 2025, SSI recorded net revenue and pre-tax profit at record highs of 13,112 billion VND and 5,083 billion VND, up 51% and 43% year-on-year, respectively.
As of 31 December 2025, SSI reported total assets of 94,050 billion VND and equity of 31,054 billion VND, up 28% and 20% respectively compared with end-2024. With this scale, SSI remains the number one securities firm by total assets.
SSI’s 2026 annual general meeting is scheduled for 23 April. The board proposed consolidated revenue of 15,660 billion VND and pre-tax profit of 5,838 billion VND. Compared with 2025 results, the revenue target implies an increase of 21% and profit up 15%. If achieved, SSI said this would be its highest profit since inception.
For its business assumptions, SSI expects the VN-Index to fluctuate around 1,800 points, with market liquidity of about 28,500 billion VND per session.
For 2025 profit distribution, SSI plans a cash dividend of 10%, meaning shareholders holding one share will receive 1,000 VND. The total dividend amount is expected to exceed 2,500 billion VND, calculated on all issued shares plus 10 million ESOP shares approved at the 2025 AGM but not yet implemented.
SSI also plans to increase capital through issuing shares from retained earnings (bonus shares) at a 5:1 ratio. Under this plan, shareholders with 5 shares will receive one new share. The number of additional shares is 500.6 million, and the issued shares are described as non-transferable with restrictions-free status.
If successful, SSI expects to raise charter capital to 30,000 billion VND.
In addition, SSI plans to issue ESOP shares in 2026 with a maximum of 10 million shares, priced at 10,000 VND per share. The plan sets 50% of the shares non-transferable for 2 years and the remaining 50% for 3 years.
On personnel matters, SSI will appoint an additional board member at the upcoming AGM to replace Kosuke Mizuno (Japanese), who resigned on 12 March 2026. Mizuno is currently the only foreign board member at SSI.
Mizuno is a senior executive officer at Daiwa Securities Group Inc., which holds 15.26% of SSI’s charter capital as of the end of 2025. In the Daiwa ecosystem, he holds senior leadership roles at several member companies.
As of the latest information provided, the candidate list for SSI’s board includes one person: Tsutomu Hiramatsu (born 1974, Japanese). He is a board member and senior executive officer of Daiwa Securities Group Inc.
