New life insurance policies fell 22.2% and claims surged 20.3% in the first four months of 2026. This marks the third straight year of decline since the bancassurance scandal, and BVH's Q1 profit came entirely from its investment portfolio, not from underwriting.

In April 2026, Dragon Capital accumulated millions of additional VIC and VHM shares, bringing combined allocation to 17% of NAV. Vietnam's largest fund group says straight out: a 7-8x gain from the trough is not the peak, but that thesis rests on three specific risks investors need to understand.
