Currently, the biggest shareholder at IDS Equity Holdings is Leadvisors Capital Management, a financial investment firm which was founded in 2008 headquartered in Hanoi city.
“After a long and intensive due diligence with IDS Equity Holdings, we realize Samurai Power and IDS share the similar business philosophy and investment goals, in which we get actively involved in supporting day-to-day operations of investee companies and driving businesses forward,” said Nobuyuki Matsukura, senior executive director of Samurai Power and Board Member of IDS.
He added: “Vietnam and Japan are the nations embracing the same Asian values and Samurai Power believes that IDS will soon become an international company.”
At the same time, Huynh Minh Viet, chief executive office of Leadvisors Capital Management as well as Board Member of IDS Equity Holdings trusted that Samurai Power is the crucial missing piece in IDS’ strategy as IDS receives not only additional capital for future investment and business plans but also global expertise and experienced human resources from Samurai Power and its affiliates.
Founded in 1996, Samurai Power, Inc. is the parent company of Raysum Co., Ltd, which is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Japan.
Prior to Vietnam, Samurai Power invested in many markets such as India, Myanmar, Cambodia and Malaysia. After nearly a decade of comprehensive and careful market observation and research, the Japanese firm has selected IDS Equity Holdings as their major partner in Vietnam.
