The Market Monitor Minding the Nation's Business
Local bourse operator Philippine Stock Exchange Inc. (PSE) held its annual Philippine Corporate Day in Tokyo, Japan on January 28 and 29 in partnership with DBP-Daiwa Capital Markets Philippines.
The 2016 Philippine Corporate Day is already the fourth roadshow to Japan by the PSE and some of its listed companies.
“We are pleased that Japanese investors remain very interested in the Philippine market despite the volatilities experienced by equities worldwide since the start of the year,” PSE President and CEO Hans Sicat said.
Aside from the PSE, seven other listed companies participated in the Philippine Corporate Day including Ayala Corporation, International Container Terminal Services, Inc., JG Summit Holdings, Inc., Manila Electric Company, Metro Pacific Investments Corp., San Miguel Corp., and Universal Robina Corp.
The roadshow generated over 70 meetings with fund houses and investors.
“I am confident that we were able to highlight the compelling growth story of the Philippines, especially since the composition of our listed companies in the roadshow provided the Japanese investors a very diverse representation of the industries we have,” Sicat said.
