Philippine Dealing and Exchange Corporation (PDEX) conferred the top award to
Security Bank Corporation (SBC) for garnering the highest volume of trading among the
Top Five Most Active Trading Participants of the Exchange for 2006 during the Exchange’s Second Annual Achievement Awards. This is the second time the Bank is winning the award in as many years.
The award was in recognition of Security Bank’s significant contribution and active role in advancing the capital market by generating the highest peso value of trades in government securities executed on the PDEx Interdealer Negotiated Trading System. Security Bank is number one out of 28 participating dealing banks, which is supported by a 160% and 130% growth in volume and transactions, respectively.
To put it in perspective, PDEx total volume grew by 80% and the number of transactions grew by 70% in 2006.
This outstanding performance can be attributed to sound distribution strategies with the expanded reach of the Bank’s nationwide branch network as well as competitive rates catering to both the institutional and individual customers’ needs. Security Bank was one of the first to offer an innovative line-up of Fixed Income solutions and expert financial advice in wealth management.
