Security Bank Capital Investment Corporation, the investment banking arm of Security Bank, has been recognized as the Philippines’ Best Investment Bank for Financing 2025 at Euromoney’s Asia-Pacific Awards for Excellence. 

 Euromoney cited Security Bank Capital’s pioneering role in sustainable and large-scale financings, including: 

• Sustainability leadership – Arranging the country’s first sustainability-linked bonds for Ayala Land, Inc. worth PHP14 billion, with innovative step-up features tied to performance targets; and the oversubscribed PHP10 billion ASEAN green bonds for Energy Development Corporation. 

• Transformational infrastructure – Leading the landmark PHP52 billion project finance facility for New NAIA Infra Corp., a new benchmark for PPP airport projects. 

• Capital market depth – Closing nine major bond issuances in 2024 totaling PHP139 billion, including SM Prime’s PHP25-billion issue and SMC Tollways’ PHP35-billion debut—the largest in the market. 

• Energy transition financing – Delivering PHP91.8 billion in project finance, such as the 450MW 3 Barracuda Solar Project, the largest solar financing in Philippine history.* 

• Equity capital markets – Raising PHP40.1 billion across four equity deals, highlighted by Citicore Renewable Energy’s IPO and the largest preferred share offerings from Petron and Ayala Corporation. 

 “Security Bank Capital has cemented its position as a cornerstone of investment banking in the Philippines,” Euromoney noted. The recognition adds to the firm’s recent distinctions, including Best Investment Bank in the Philippines (Alpha Southeast Asia 2025), Best ESG House in the Philippines (Euromoney 2024), and Best ECM House – Highly Commended (FinanceAsia).
