What Techcom Securities does

Techcom Securities Joint Stock Company (TCBS) is a Vietnamese wealth management and investment banking firm operating as the capital markets arm of Techcombank, Vietnam's leading commercial bank. Founded in 2008 and authorized for online trading services in 2015, TCBS conducts securities business across brokerage, margin lending, bond distribution, investment fund distribution, covered warrant issuance, IPO underwriting, and corporate finance advisory. The company serves individual retail investors (including a network of 97,000 clients referred by 13,000+ iWealth Partners) and institutional clients (banks, insurance firms, asset managers) entirely within Vietnam. TCBS listed on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange on October 21, 2025 at a ~$4.09 billion valuation, becoming the largest listed securities company in Vietnam by market capitalization, and has been Vietnam's most profitable securities firm for six consecutive years (2019-2024).

TCBS operates a digital-first WealthTech platform centered on TCInvest, which unifies trading across stocks, bonds, derivatives, covered warrants, and funds under a single login. The product suite spans 18+ sub-brands including iStock (zero-fee equity trading), iBond (corporate bonds with Techcombank-guaranteed variants), iFund and Fundmart (27 third-party funds plus four proprietary funds: TCBF, TCEF, TCFF, TCFIN), iFuture (derivatives), TCWealth (Vietnam's first robo-advisor), TCAnalysis (analytics covering 1,350+ listed companies), iCopy (social/copy-trading), iTracker (automated strategies), iConnect (bond trading marketplace), and iXu (blockchain-secured loyalty points). The platform runs on AWS Graviton-based EC2 instances orchestrated through Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service, achieving up to 30% compute cost reduction with 47% of compute and 50% of database footprint migrated.

The business model monetizes primarily through margin lending interest income, bond brokerage and distribution fees, fund distribution commissions, covered warrant issuance, IPO services, and institutional investment banking — rather than retail trading commissions, which are zero-fee for all customers since January 2023. Distribution is fully digital (TCInvest platform, mobile app) supplemented by the iWealth Partner referral network; institutional clients are served through a dedicated relationship team. In 2026 the company secured a $488 million syndicated loan (the largest ever for a Vietnamese securities firm) and a $50 million DEG convertible loan, and is pursuing a digital assets / digital gold platform license to extend the product surface.
