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.
