BPI Capital was named Top Corporate Issue Manager/Arranger, recognizing its outstanding role in managing landmark corporate bond transactions in 2024. Among the standout deals were:
Maynilad’s maiden Blue Bond issuance, promoting sustainability in water services, and
Ayala Land’s dual-tranche Sustainability-Linked Bonds, marking a key move towards ESG-aligned capital raising.
These milestones underscored BPI Capital’s strategic direction of aligning capital market solutions with long-term sustainable growth.
BPI Capital was also honored with the Cesar E.A. Virata Award – Best Securities House (Investment House Category). This award is the highest accolade granted to an investment house that has demonstrated excellence across fixed-income securities trading, distribution, settlement, and market-making.
“We are grateful to the Philippine Dealing System Holdings Corp. for these awards, which highlight our role as a trusted financial partner to leading businesses in the country,” said Lester Ong, president of BPI Capital.
“These recognitions inspire us to continue driving impactful capital market solutions that support our clients' long-term growth and contribute to the development of the Philippine financial system,” Ong said.
In 2024, BPI Capital maintained its dominant position in the Bloomberg Corporate Bonds League Table for Philippine peso-denominated corporate bond issuances. It handled ₱19.2 billion worth of transactions, capturing a 12.38-percent market share.
Beyond private sector transactions, BPI Capital continues to be a strong supporter of government-led issuances, both in Philippine peso and U.S. dollar denominations, underscoring its broader commitment to national economic development.
These accolades reaffirm BPI Capital’s long-standing mission of empowering Filipino enterprises, advancing inclusive growth, and deepening the Philippine capital markets.
As the country eyes a robust recovery and future-forward financial systems, BPI Capital stands at the forefront—merging innovation with impact, and capital with purpose. —Ed: Corrie S. Narisma
