VET stocks are attracting over 42% of Vietnamese investors amid strong stock market fluctuations in 2025. According to SSC statistics, portfolios with 60% VET stocks yield outstanding profits of 15% compared to the VN-Index over the past 5 years. This article provides 7 practical strategies to help you build an effective VET stock portfolio, with detailed step-by-step analysis to optimize profits in Vietnam's market in 2025.
What are vet stocks and why do they yield 15% annual returns?
In investment language, vet stocks (short for "veteran") are stocks with over 10 years of operation, having survived at least 3 market cycles while maintaining industry leadership. In Vietnam, these stocks typically account for 65-70% of VN30's market capitalization and form a solid foundation for any long-term investment portfolio.
Analysis from 2015-2024 shows vet stocks delivered an average return of 14.8% annually, while the VN-Index only achieved 9.3%. Notably, during the significant market correction of 2022-2023, these stocks only declined by 18.3% compared to the broader market's 35.7% drop - demonstrating superior resilience during crisis periods.
According to exclusive data from Pocket Option, investors with portfolios containing 60% vet stocks can outperform 78% of other investors over a 5-year period. In particular, this group of stocks provides a Sharpe ratio (risk-adjusted return) 1.75 times higher than the average portfolio in the Vietnamese market.
