RoK Group acquires Prudential Finance in Vietnam
Friday, January 26,2018AsemconnectVietnam - Prudential Plc on January 23 announced that it had reached an agreement to sell 100% of its Prudential Vietnam Finance Company (PVFC) to Shinhan Card Co Ltd, a subsidiary of the Shinhan Financial Group (Shinhan), at a cost of US$151 million.
It remains fully committed to the Vietnamese market through its life insurance business, Prudential Vietnam Assurance Private Limited, and asset management business, Eastspring Investments Fund Management Company (Vietnam).
“PVFC is a high-quality business, but it is not core to our strategy in Vietnam. We are delighted that Shinhan will be able to lead this consumer finance business through to the next stage of its development. Vietnam remains an attractive and important market to Prudential where we have high-quality and fast-growing life insurance and asset management operations,” Nic Nicandrou, Chief Executive of Prudential Corporation Asia, said.
“As part of this transaction, we are further expanding our regional platform through the new long-term bancassurance partnership with Shinhan in both Vietnam and Indonesia to continue serving the growing savings and protection needs of the Asian population,” he said.
Shinhan is a financial institution in the Republic of Korea with a diversified business portfolio across banking, credit cards, securities brokerage, life insurance, asset management and leasing. It is one of the largest financial institutions by market capitalisation in the RoK, and Shinhan Card is the largest credit card company in the country.
Shinhan has had a presence in Vietnam since 1993.
Last year, Shinhan Bank Vietnam, a wholly owned unit of Shinhan Bank, also acquired the retail division of ANZ, a major Australian bank, in Vietnam.
