PHIGroup, Inc.: Philand Ranch Featured on European Radio Interview
Dec. 14, 2009 (GlobeNewswire) --
FRANKFURT, Germany and LOS ANGELES, Dec. 14, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PHIGroup, Inc. (OTCBB:PHIE) (Frankfurt:PR7.F) (XETRA:PR7.DE)(XETRA:WKN A0RNQV), a company engaged in the development and management of real estate properties, mining interests, and merger and acquisition advisory services, today announced the release of an interview with Henry Fahman, chairman of PHIGroup, and Daniel St.John, project director of Philand Ranch Ltd. (Frankfurt:1P8.F)(XETRA:1P8.DE) (XETRA:WKN A0RPEA).
Philand Ranch Ltd., the first company with core operations in Vietnam ever listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, is a majority-owned subsidiary of PHIGroup engaged in the development of master planned communities and other real estate developments in Vietnam and Southeast Asia.
The interview by Boersen Radio Network centered on the new master planned community, which is being developed in Chu Lai, Quang Nam Province in Central Vietnam. The discussion follows a presentation made by Henry Fahman at The German Equity Forum in Frankfurt, outlining the opportunity for investment in Philand Ranch Ltd.
In the dialogue, Fahman and St. John highlighted the scope and magnitude for Philand Ranch's development plans, and point to the first phase, Pointe91, which will become a luxury residence and tourist destination. Especially, they commented on the economic potential of the area, the company's business prospect, and the investment opportunity for international investors. Fahman also mentions the fact that major multi-nationals Hyundai and Kia have 1,500 hectares of land set aside for assembly plants less than 35 kilometers from the site and goes on to say that he believes that China is the big tiger, but Vietnam is the new baby tiger.
Rudi Holzammer, Managing Partner of Red Herring, an investment analysis group based in Frankfurt, commented on the interview, "We've all heard that Asia offers great investment opportunities, but few of us really know or understand where to find these opportunities. I felt Mr. Fahman and Mr. St. John gave us a rare inside look."
