Mekong Capital Wins Operational Excellence Award

Mekong Capital has recently been awarded Operational Excellence for the Asia-Pacific Small Cap Category for 2015 by Private Equity International (PEI), based on the success of its investment into Golden Gate Joint Stock Company.

 

This is the third consecutive year Mekong Capital won a PEI Award, and the second time Mekong Capital garnered the Operational Excellence Award. Mekong Capital won the Operational Excellence Award for the Asia Small Cap Category in 2013 in relation to its investment in MobileWorld Investment Corp., and won Frontier Market Firm of the Year for 2014.

 

PEI’s Operational Excellence Awards aim to recognise and highlight the achievements of the industry's best-in-class operators.

 

In September 2014, Mekong Enterprise Fund II, the second of four private equity funds managed by Mekong Capital, successfully completed the divestment from Golden Gate. This divestment resulted in a net return multiple of 9.1x and a gross IRR of 45.1 percent for MEF II.
