Corporate Access
Vietnam Partners was one of the first foreign entrants into the private equity business in Vietnam. In 2006, VPLLC formed a 50/50 joint venture with the Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam (BIDV), the second-largest commercial bank in the country, to manage two private equity growth funds focused on the domestic market under the name BIDV – Vietnam Partners Investment Management JVC (BVIM).
In March 2007, Vietnam Investment Fund I, denominated in Vietnamese Dong, closed for the equivalent of $84 million. As of October 2015, the fund had returned 60% of capital, with a substantial remaining net asset value comprised largely of listed securities. Liquidation of all portfolio holdings completed by mid-2016. In late 2007, Vietnam Investment Fund II, a dollar-denominated fund with original binding commitments of $42 million, closed early due to the accelerating weakening of the international financial system. The fund was liquidated successfully in early 2013, delivering a net gain of 18% to investors.
