Capital Markets

Frasers’ Capital Markets team has a broad range of industry experience. We are well-placed to work with clients across all sectors, including banking and finance, energy and natural resources, FMCG, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, projects and infrastructure, real estate and construction, retail, and telecommunications.

Our team regularly provides advice to global investment banking and securities firms, government institutions, finance leasing companies, credit institutions, and foreign and local banks. Clients are thus able to navigate their way through relevant procedures and regulations while protecting their interests in Vietnam’s emerging and evolving business environment.

A sampling of our highlight matters in this area includes:

  • Acting as the local Vietnam counsel for a US$401 million infrastructure fund’s listing on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) of the London Stock Exchange.
  • Acting on one of the biggest acquisition deals in Vietnam, involving the potential acquisition by our client of an ownership interest in a listed State-owned beer company in Vietnam.

  • Acting for the lenders on the EUR900 million financing to a leading animal feeds company for the purposes of developing a strategic business relationship with a listed Vietnamese company having a strong reputation in animal husbandry, by way of financially and operationally taking over the business (i.e., the production of livestock, poultry, and aquatic feed).
