Vietnam · AGG
If you live in Vietnam and want exposure to iShares Core US Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG), you no longer need a US brokerage account. Through tokenized stocks on GM Markets, investors in Vietnam can buy AGG backed 1:1 by real shares, funded with stablecoins, from just $1. As of the latest update, AGG trades around $97.97 (about ₫2,568,947 at recent exchange rates). This guide covers how it works, what it costs, the risks to weigh, and what Vietnam investors specifically should know.
About the fund
AGG is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track a broad index of the US investment-grade bond market, holding a diversified mix of US Treasuries, government-related debt, investment-grade corporate bonds, and mortgage-backed securities. It offers single-position exposure to the overall taxable investment-grade bond market rather than to any single sector or maturity.
The bull case
Investors use AGG as a core bond holding for broad diversification across the US fixed-income market, a source of interest income, and a way to balance equity exposure in a portfolio.
Key risks
AGG is exposed to interest-rate risk, so its price can decline when rates rise, and although it holds investment-grade debt it still carries some credit risk on its corporate and securitized holdings.
For Vietnam investors
Vietnamese investors seeking US equities have mostly relied on international brokers or offshore platforms, working around dong conversion, custody limits, and cross-border transfer requirements. Tokenized US stocks give a more direct path with 1:1 exposure to the underlying share, self-custodied and startable from about $1.
