“For nearly five decades, Unicapital has stood at the forefront of driving financial innovation and growth in the Philippine private sector.

“Our independent position in the market has allowed us to focus on our clients’ needs, providing personalized financial solutions that help them thrive and contribute meaningfully to the country’s economic development,” Martirez said.

“As we look forward to the coming years, we remain committed to expanding our role as a trusted partner for companies and individual investors alike,” Martirez added, emphasizing the group’s position as the Philippine business sector partner.
