The table below summaries the key conditions that a new foreign institutional investor may need to satisfy when investing in an existing insurance company in Vietnam. The target insurance company can be either a joint stock company (JSC) or a limited liability company (LLC). The investment could either be acquisition of new shares issued by the target or of existing share held by existing owners. Except in case of acquiring less than 10% existing shares, in all cases, an approval from the Ministry of Finance is required.
