BDO Capital & Investment Corp. was awarded as the Best Investment Bank
and Best Bond House in the Philippines by Alpha Southeast Asia Magazine,
the first and only institutional investment magazine that publishes
focused monthly reports about Southeast Asia on wealth management,
equity strategy, cash management and other financial investment issues.
In the July 2007 issue of Alpha Southeast Asia magazine, it has been
stated that "despite its short operating history, BDO Capital & Investment Corp.
is indisputably the leading investment bank in the Philippines, thanks to the
experienced bankers and its unique staff strength. Since its inception, the bank
has raised US$ 13.8 billion in debt and equity offerings for its clients. It is by
far, the most active and largest issue manager for local equity issues in the country
and over the past twelve months has successfully syndicated over US$ 1 billion worth
of notes, bonds and loans for the government and its corporate clients."
On the Bond House category, Alpha Southeast Magazine also noted that
BDO Capital & Investment does not only underwrite bonds for its corporate
clients but it also has its history of innovating debt financing transactions
and structuring deals to lower the overall costs of funding by as much as
possible for its clients. Meralco's Php 12 billion refinancing facility
eing one such example among many others over the past twelve months.
Since June 2006, BDO Capital & Investment has raised Php 49 billion of
notes, bonds and loans for both government and corporate entities in the Philippines.
