The Market Monitor Minding the Nation's Business
Philippine National Bank (PNB) is expanding investment opportunities for Filipino clients through a partnership between its subsidiary, PNB Securities Inc., and ATRAM Trust Corp. to provide broader access to professionally managed financial products.
The institutions formalized their agreement through an Institutional Trust Agent partnership during a signing ceremony at ATRAM’s office in Rockwell, Makati City.
The arrangement combines PNB’s banking network and customer relationships, PNB Securities’ brokerage services, and ATRAM’s asset and wealth management expertise to offer clients more investment choices aligned with their financial objectives and risk profiles.
PNB President and Chief Executive Officer Edwin R. Bautista said the collaboration forms part of the bank’s strategy to deliver greater value to customers by expanding the range of investment solutions available to them.
PNB Securities President Manuel Antonio G. Lisbona said the partnership would help connect investors with more investment opportunities and professionally managed products suited to different financial goals.
ATRAM Trust Corp. President Deanno J. Basas said access to investment expertise, combined with disciplined financial planning, could help investors make informed decisions as they build wealth over the long term.
The partnership supports PNB’s broader efforts to strengthen its wealth management business as Filipinos seek investment options beyond traditional bank deposits.
By combining banking, securities and asset management capabilities, the three institutions aim to make a wider range of investment solutions accessible to clients planning for their financial future.
