DragonFi Securities Inc., the stock brokerage firm backed by Jollibee’s Tony Tan Caktiong and Mang Inasal’s Edgar “Injap” Sia II will start doing business today, March 13, the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) said.
The PSE said DragonFi Securities, which will be operating an online stockbrokerage platform, will be assigned the broker code 257.
