In August 2014, Mekong Enterprise Fund II completed the sale of all of its shares in Golden Gate, one of the leading restaurant chain operators in Vietnam. The Fund originally invested in Golden Gate in April 2008. The Fund achieved a 9x return on its investment over the 6 ½ year holding period, driven by the expansion of Golden Gate from one brand with 7 restaurant locations at the time of the investment to more than 10 brands with around 75 restaurant locations by the time of the exit.
Mekong’s investment in Golden Gate was the subject of a case study written by INSEAD and published in March 2016. The case study is available here:
