Celebrating 25 Years of News Securities

In 2026, News Securities is set to commemorate its 25th anniversary by hosting the "Vietnam Seminar" scheduled for July 18 in Tokyo and August 1 in Osaka, at the Imperial Hotel. This important event will showcase various prominent Vietnamese companies, with the first announcement featuring BAF, BIDV, and Digiworld.

The seminar comes at a pivotal time, with the Vietnamese stock market undergoing a review in September 2026, which may lead to an upgrade to the emerging markets category. As Vietnam's government aims for a GDP growth rate of 10%, the seminar represents an opportunity to bridge notable Vietnamese enterprises and Japanese investors.

Featured Vietnamese Companies

Founded in 2017, BAF has quickly become a key player in the pig farming industry in Vietnam. The company operates under its core "3F model"—Feed, Farm, and Food—managing the entire pig production process, from feed production to processing and distribution of pork products. This ensures that BAF delivers "green, clean, and safe" products directly to consumers.
