Vietnam is an ideal investing destination to Singaporean business
The Government of Singapore (GIC) Fund unexpectedly announced it
had become a big shareholder of Vinasun (VNS) after wrapping up a deal to buy
4.5 million VNS shares, or 7.96 percent of chartered capital.
With the current price of VND 45,000 per share, the Singaporean fund has poured VND200 billion into Vietnam’s largest taxi firm.
This is the second Singaporean-sourced capital investment deal
in VNS. Prior to that, another fund, which also has relations to the
Singaporean government, Teal Two Partners Ltd, bought 7.93 million VNS shares,
or 14 percent of the firm’s chartered capital.
Teal Two Partners Ltd is now the largest shareholder of PAN Pacific, holding 8.1 million shares, or 20 percent of PAN Pacific’s chartered capital. Meanwhile, GIC holds 4.7 percent of PAN’s shares.
Analysts believe that the Singaporean cash flow will continue to head toward Vietnam, targeting the real estate, industry, hotels, banks, logistics and retail sectors.
In mid-year 2013, two multi-million dollar investment deals are made by Richard Chandler, the billionaire who was born and grew up in Singapore.
He reportedly spent $99 million to buy 80 percent of stakes of Hoan My Medical Group and 58.7 million Masan (MSN) shares from six domestic investors.
If counting the 20 million MSN shares bought in late 2010, the billionaire now holds up to 78.7 million MSN shares, or 10.7 percent.
He is the biggest foreign shareholder of Vietnam’s largest consumer goods manufacturing group. The share value is estimated at $330 million.
Many other major Singaporean investors have become involved in big deals in Vietnam.
These include CapitalLand, the developer of Mulberry Lane in Hanoi, Vista in HCM City, and big hotels like the Somerset Grand Hanoi, Somerset Hoa Binh, Somerset Westlake, Somerset Chancellor Court HCM City and Somerset HCM City.
