Five funds related to Dragon Capital on Sep. 30 reduced their ownership of the country’s biggest steelmaker by 0.074 percentage points to 5.99 percent, according to an announcement by Hoa Phat Monday.

With a market cap of around $10.8 billion, the company is now the fourth largest listed company in Vietnam, behind state-owned lender Vietcombank, conglomerate Vingroup and real estate developer Vinhomes.
