MILITARY INSURANCE CORPORATION: A State-Backed Powerhouse in Transformation

In Vietnam’s increasingly competitive non-life insurance market, MILITARY INSURANCE CORPORATION (TỔNG CÔNG TY CỔ PHẦN BẢO HIỂM QUÂN ĐỘI), better known as MIC, continues to maintain its solid footing with a blend of military legacy, public investment, and strong financial performance. With over nine years of legal operation under its current form, MIC is headquartered at Floor 5–6, No. 21, Cat Linh Street, Dong Da District, Hanoi, and operates under the Ministry of Finance license number 43/GPDC18/KDBH.

A publicly traded entity on Vietnam’s UPCOM exchange under the stock symbol MIG, MIC is majority-owned by the Military Commercial Joint Stock Bank, which holds a commanding 68.37% stake. Another institutional investor, Japan Asia MB Capital Fund, owns a modest 3.53%. MIC’s tax identification number is 0102385623, and it currently employs 1,539 people across Vietnam.

Financially, MIC's performance in 2023 presents a compelling blend of resilience and cautious optimism. Despite a 4.76% drop in total sales, down to USD 147.65 million, the company recorded a 40.06% increase in net profit, reaching USD 11.53 million. Total assets rose slightly by 3.2% to USD 362.32 million, while owner’s equity climbed nearly 10%, ending the year at USD 85.5 million. The most striking financial highlight was a 137.43% surge in working capital, now standing at USD 57.7 million, signaling improved liquidity and better internal cash management.

MIC’s ability to generate higher profits despite declining revenue suggests either cost optimization or investment income playing a more prominent role. The company’s involvement in financial and real estate investments, alongside its core non-life insurance activities, may have contributed to this outcome. However, the absence of detailed disclosures on the composition of its earnings means this remains a hypothesis rather than a confirmed strength.

From the perspective of Vietnam private financial data, business information providers, and risk management analysts, MIC’s overall stability is noteworthy. Its strong capitalization (charter capital at over USD 53.4 million and paid-up capital at nearly USD 71 million), military banking ties, and consistent growth in equity point to a low-risk credit profile in the short term. However, the ongoing decline in sales may suggest increasing market saturation or loss of competitiveness in its traditional insurance lines.

Under the leadership of Chairman Mr. Uong D. H. and General Director Mr. Nguyen Q. H., MIC is clearly in a transitional phase—financially sound, but likely needing to refocus on innovation and service diversification to maintain its edge in a rapidly changing insurance environment.

For investors, partners, and institutions seeking reliable business verification and credit evaluation, MILITARY INSURANCE CORPORATION remains a trusted and influential player in Vietnam’s financial services ecosystem. But with revenue pressure building, its next phase of growth will depend less on its military heritage—and more on how it adapts to a competitive, digitally driven future.
