Fraudulent websites

03 nov. 2024

Equistone Partners Europe is a leading investment management firm. An unfortunate consequence of our size and reputation is the potential misuse of our name, brands and reputation by imposters and fraudsters publishing fake websites and engaging in “phishing” scams seeking personal or confidential information.

Equistone has been made aware of a fraudulent website that is not one of our genuine websites but is purporting to be associated with us. This website uses the Equistone logo and duplicates a number of actual website pages. 

This website:

  • Falsely claims that we invest in the Asia-Pacific region and that we have an on-the-ground presence in Vietnam;
  • Falsely claims that “The Board of Equistone Partners Asia Limited makes the investment and exit decisions and is guided by recommendations of the European Investment Committee”;
  • Falsely claims that “The Investment Manager of our funds is Equistone Partners Asia Limited, which is licensed and regulated by the State Securities Commission of Vietnam and owned by the key executives at the Asia-Pacific headquarters”;
  • Includes a fake press release titled “Expert. Luong Duc Hung – Director of Investment Division Equistone Partners Asia- Igniting Financial Resources, Reaching for Success” dated the 1st of October 2024. The content of the release, which includes a claim that Equistone is planning on realising “a ‘wave of profits’ for retail investors in Vietnam”, is a complete fabrication;
  • Falsely names Luong Duc Hung as a Director for “Equistone Investment Group Vietnam” 

Please note, that this a fake website and is a fraudulent use of the Equistone name and brand.

Equistone’s only authorised websites are accessible through the following links:
