Vietnam - Japan Funds

The Vietnam Japan Fund is a US$ 100 million private member fund jointly established by SBI Holdings, one of Asia’s most skilled and successful venture capital groups, and FPT, Vietnam’s largest information technology group.

Launched in November 2007, this fund is managed by FPT Capital and focuses on the equitization process of large state-owned enterprises, especially those dealing with finance and banking, as well as incubates emerging sectors such as Life Sciences, Information Technology and Internet Services.

The manager’s objective is to provide shareholders with an attractive level of income as well as creating a potential for capital growth.

The fund is only the first step in a well-planned strategy to invest in and groom quality businesses and, wherever possible, create pathways into Japanese markets.
