The Vietnam M&A Forum is a prestigious event in the field of mergers and acquisitions (M&A), held annually by Bao Dau tu (Investment Newspaper)  under the auspices of the Ministry of Planning and Investment. Over its 16 years of organization, the forum has garnered significant attention and participation from policymakers, esteemed experts, and business leaders from both domestic and international firms.

As part of the forum, the organizers also conduct a selection program to recognize Outstanding M&A Deals and Advisors. The evaluation is conducted independently by an expert council based on various criteria, including the number and scale of transactions advised, the nature and significance of the deals, as well as the experience and capabilities of the advisory teams.

This year, RongViet Securities was once again honored as one of the outstanding securities firms in M&A advisory for the 2023–2024 period. This marks the sixth consecutive year that RongViet has received recognition in the M&A category at the forum.
