As one of the prestigious Vietnamese brands in the international capital market, the group has been praised by international investors for its efforts to push up networking activities. Novaland has always taken the initiative to increase its exposure to the wide community of investors and financial institutions in the region and key financial markets like Singapore, South Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, the US, and Europe, in parallel to joining diverse investment forums held by leading international financiers such as HSBC, Credit Suisse, and Goldman Sachs.

Most recently, Novaland met and teamed up with Mirae Asset Management, a leading international financier, to hold a field survey to NovaWorld Ho Tram project in the southern province of Ba Ria-Vung Tau and Aqua City in Dong Nai province for retail and institutional investors and analytic experts from leading securities firms and investment funds, from there helping to cement the relationships between stakeholder parties and to make investors more aware of the progress of Novaland projects.
