Chinabank Capital has once again been named Best Bond Adviser in the Philippines by The Asset. This marks the ninth year in a row that Chinabank’s investment house arm has clinched the prestigious title, underscoring its capital market excellence and the breadth and depth of its bond franchise in the country.
In addition to Best Bond Adviser-Domestic, Chinabank Capital was also recognized at The Asset Triple A Awards for Sustainable Finance 2025 in Hong Kong for its key role in landmark deals in 2024. Chinabank Capital acted as bookrunner and underwriter for the Best Sustainability Linked Financing, Ayala Land, Inc.’sP6 billion sustainability-linked bond, the first sustainability-linked corporate bonds to be issued in the Philippines. The investment house was also the lead manager for the Best Bond-Corporate, SM Investments Corporation’s $500 million senior unsecured bond.
“These awards are testament to Chinabank Capital’s client focus, consistent execution, and more importantly, the hard work of our team, collaboration with different units within CBC, and the trust of issuers and investors,” said Chinabank Capital President Ryan Tapia.
A leading investment house in the Philippines, Chinabank Capital continued to be the country’s top bookrunner for bond deals in 2024, actively participating in significant bond transactions spanning sovereign issuances, corporate offerings, and government bank bonds. It was tapped for seven out of the twelve corporate bond issuances last year, accounting for P114 billion out of the P154 billion raised during the year.
