What is the Depository fee?

The depository fee is a charge imposed by the Vietnam Securities Depository (VSD) on investors when they trade securities to ensure ownership rights of securities in the market through the securities company. Customers with securities in their accounts are subject to a depository fee of 0.3 VND per share/month. This fee accrues daily and is displayed in the ‘Debt’ section of the customer’s Assets. It is settled at the end of the month or the beginning of the next month.
