Richard Kao, JS Chief Investment Officer, said as quoted inthe release that “Vietnam’s potential is something Taiwanese companies haveknown for several years now – they have been leading investors in foreigndirect investment. But until very recently, Taiwanese retail investors have hadfew options to participate in the growth of this dynamic market, which is what promptedus to launch JSVOF.
