Saigon-Hanoi Securities Corporation (SHS) has announced a resolution by its Board of Directors regarding changes in senior leadership.

The SHS Board of Directors has issued a resolution approving the resignation of Mr. Nguyen Chi Thanh from his positions as Board Member and CEO due to personal reasons. Concurrently, the Board has appointed Mr. Nguyen Duy Linh as the new CEO. This leadership transition, including the change in the company’s legal representative, will take effect upon approval by the State Securities Commission.

This appointment is part of SHS’s strategic initiative to strengthen its executive team, enhance governance capabilities, and prepare leadership resources for the next phase of growth. This move comes as Vietnam’s securities market enters an increasingly competitive cycle, requiring brokerage firms to redefine their operational models, elevate governance standards, and improve service quality.

Moving forward, SHS will prioritize the execution of its strategic roadmap, focusing on upgrading its technology and trading platforms, enhancing customer experience across service channels, and embedding a customer-centric approach as the core of its “Service Branding” strategy. Simultaneously, SHS will standardize internal governance systems to improve operational efficiency and risk management. Based on this framework, SHS’s financial products and services will be tailored to meet the specific needs of diverse investor groups, emphasizing transparency, flexibility, and long-term value.

SHS is also committed to enhancing its research and investment advisory capabilities, with macro, market, and corporate reports consistently receiving positive feedback from professionals and investors.
