SB Capital Investment Corporation (SB Capital), the wholly owned investment banking arm of Security Bank, took home the award for Best Domestic Equity Capital Market (ECM) House – Highly Commended at the FinanceAsia Awards 2024.
SB Capital’s award comes off a banner year of strong financial performance, active market presence, and participation in key transactions—including the PHP34 billion Preferred Shares issuance by San Miguel Corporation and ACEN Corporation’s PHP25 billion Preferred Shares, where SB Capital acted as Joint Lead Underwriter and Bookrunner.
Despite a record number of entries this year, FinanceAsia’s judges noted that SB Capital “stood out and deserved to be recognised” in the category.
“We are deeply honored and grateful to be recognized as one of the Philippines’ top investment banks, particularly for the domestic equity capital markets by FinanceAsia. This achievement underscores our commitment to provide BetterBanking services to our clients and partners in the equity capitals market. We look forward to sustaining our momentum and delivering even greater value to our stakeholders,” said Virgilio Chua, President and CEO of SB Capital.
In addition to the recognition from FinanceAsia, SB Capital has received numerous accolades. It was named the Top Corporate Issue Manager/Arranger in 2022 and secured the second position in 2023 by the Philippine Dealing System Holdings Corp. (PDS). Furthermore, SB Capital ranked third in the Investors’ Choice Top Arranger for Primary Issues category at the 2023 Asset Benchmark Research Awards.
