The group was founded and is headquartered in Ho Chi Minh city. Its subsidiaries include Masan Consumer Holdings (consumer staples), Techcombank (financial services) and Masan Resources (mining). The group launched on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange on 5 November 2009.

Masan Group was among the first domestic Vietnamese corporations to adopt a growth strategy that taps foreign sources of capital for acquisition-driven expansion. In April 2011, the group's subsidiary Masan Consumer Corp. became the recipient of Vietnam's largest private-equity investment when KKR paid US$159 million for a 10% stake in the company.{{cite news|title=KKR Buys Masan Stake in Biggest Vietnam Private Equity Deal|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-04-13/kkr-buys-masan-stake-in-biggest-vietnam-private-equity-deal-1-.html|accessdate=3 February 2012|newspaper=Bloomberg News|date=13 April 2011}} This investment was viewed as a validation of Vietnam's M&A potential.{{cite web|title=Riding Asia's Next M&A Wave: Challenges for Legal Practitioners Operating in Vietnam|url=http://asia.legalbusinessonline.com/news/analysis/riding-vietnams-next-manda-wave-challenges-for-legal-practitioners-operating-in-vietnam/106877|publisher=Asian Legal Business|access-date=2012-02-03|archive-date=2012-03-21|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120321064830/http://asia.legalbusinessonline.com/news/analysis/riding-vietnams-next-manda-wave-challenges-for-legal-practitioners-operating-in-vietnam/106877|url-status=dead}}
