Corporate Culture & Company Activities
ACBS prioritizes workforce quality, adaptability, and innovation to ensure employees are well-equipped to excel in their assigned roles. The company actively supports management in meeting business goals, improving training capabilities, and fostering continuous learning.

According to HR Manager, Mr. Vo Dinh Nam, in 2023, ACBS revamped its development strategy by restructuring functions, tasks, and organizational roles. Its open office space featuring an abundance of greenery and modern amenities create a comfortable workspace, boosting employee motivation while providing a sustainable environment at the same time.

In the same year, the company successfully executed critical tasks, resulting in a remarkable 403% increase in after-tax profits compared to 2022. This achievement represents a significant milestone in the company’s strategic implementation and was made possible thanks to the efforts of the entire ACBS staff who are ready to adapt, improve and develop.

The company actively engages in various initiatives to enhance employee well-being. This includes annual team-building sessions, blood donation events, and executive training programs. This fosters a dynamic work environment through “The Next Broker” program, which has successfully attracted Gen Z talents with its enticing prizes and comprehensive training.

Achievements and Impact
The year 2023 was a year of many challenges such as geopolitical tensions, the decline in global trade, and high inflation rates in many countries forcing Central Banks to keep interest rates high, affecting economic development in many countries. ACBS also faced challenges alongside other securities companies. Despite these difficulties, the company adeptly transformed them into opportunities, resulting in several commendable accomplishments at the end of 2023.

As of today, ACBS has approximately 400 employees, 98% of whom hold university or higher education degrees, while over 200 employees hold Securities Practicing Certificates. ACBS has also significantly increased its charter capital to VND 4,000 billion, positioning itself among the Top 11 companies with the highest charter capital in Q4/2024.

ACBS’ total assets have doubled in size, reaching approximately VND 12,000 billion, the highest result since coming into operation. Its margins also increased significantly by 123%, reaching a record of nearly VND 4,600 billion. Additionally, profit before tax jumped more than 5 times in the same period in 2022, surpassing the budget. As a result, the brokerage share averaged 2.33% for a full year, increasing 0.12% compared to that of 2022.

As for the company's governance and management framework, it has been gradually built up and upgraded while ensuring risks were managed strictly to strengthen the business.

ACBS has a clear strategy to achieve sustainable growth. Its business operations are firmly built on three main pillars: Securities Services, Proprietary Trading, and Corporate Financial Advisory. Among these, the Securities Services segment, particularly securities lending, plays a crucial role and significantly contributes to the company’s revenue and profits over the years.

According to CEO Mr. Nguyen Duc Hoan, the company will continue to invest resources in this business area, as it is considered a stable and sustainable revenue generator. In addition to securities services, ACBS also emphasizes the development of other business areas such as derivatives trading, financial consulting, and proprietary trading. Simultaneously, ACBS continuously researches and develops new products for both domestic and international markets, aiming to create a diverse product ecosystem that enhances customer assets.

Future Direction
ACBS’s strategic vision for 2024 is to be the premier brokerage firm in the market by focusing on several key areas as below.

Human Resources: Believing that a skilled workforce is essential for success, the company plans to strengthen its human resources system by implementing a clean KPI framework, investing in employee training, and strengthening recruitment policies.

Innovation: ACBS is committed to completing its core systems and embracing digital transformation. This includes digitizing its physical education center, operating system, and CRM. Additionally, API extensions are also used to enhance connectivity.

Product and Service Diversity: The company recognizes the importance of diversifying its focus and actively developing a range of investment products to cater to various customer needs.

By executing this strategic roadmap, ACBS aims to achieve sustainable growth and maintain its competitive edge.
