MANILA, Philippines — Multi-awarded premier financial services company Unicapital Group marks its 50th anniversary on Sept, 8, 2026, having mobilized debt and equity capital for corporations, institutions, and emerging enterprises across the country. This milestone underscores the investment house’s longstanding role in connecting businesses with capital and delivering financial solutions that support growth across multiple industries through its services such as ULoan and UTrade.
Since 1976, Unicapital Group has served as a trusted financial partner to growing businesses nationwide by offering full-service investment banking, treasury, lending, and stock brokerage solutions. Over the past five decades, its deep expertise across capital raising, debt and equity offerings, and mergers and acquisitions advisory has empowered companies to strengthen their financial foundations and capital accessibility.
Today, Unicapital works with a diverse portfolio of emerging and established companies across the Philippines, drawing on decades of capital markets and financial advisory expertise. Its track record includes engagements with EastWest Banking Corporation, DoubleDragon Properties Corp., Alaska Milk Corporation, Citicore Energy REIT Corporation, Philippine Airlines, UnionBank, Metro Pacific Investments, and GMA Network, reflecting its ability to help clients achieve sustainable growth and long-term value in a rapidly evolving economy.
“Reaching our 50th year is a milestone that we share with the institutions, investors, and partners who have placed their trust in Unicapital throughout the decades. This milestone represents the impact of helping businesses pursue opportunities and contribute to the broader economy of the Philippines,” said Unicapital Group president and CEO Jaime J. Martirez.
Financing businesses beyond their immediate needs
One of the Group’s strengths is its ability to support businesses with solutions tailored to the realities of running and growing an enterprise. Through ULoan by Unicapital Financial Investors, Inc. (UFII), the Group continues to expand its financing solutions for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
Alongside its established business loan products, ULoan has introduced Truck Financing and Corporate Salary Loans. These services reflect a broader approach to MSME financing that provides businesses with access to funding, supporting different aspects of their operations, including working capital, day-to-day requirements, acquiring assets, and supporting their employees.
Making investing more accessible in the Philippines
To make capital market participation more accessible, the Group explores how technology and information can help empower more investors to participate confidently in the capital markets. Through Unicapital Securities, Inc. (USI) and its UTrade platform, investors can access the USI Research Team’s daily Market Research reports bearing insights to improve understanding of market developments and increase informed investment decisions.
UTrade is also taking investor education and market intelligence into new digital spaces. Through its new weekly UTrade Rundown, investors can get up to speed on key market movements, timely developments, and research insights in a concise, easy-to-follow format across Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. Complementing this is the new Unicapital Market Sense Podcast on YouTube and Spotify, where investors can go deeper into market trends, emerging opportunities, and expert perspectives.
USI also recently launched the UTrade WealthBasket, an automated investing solution available through its UTrade platform. Curated by the Unicapital Research Team, WealthBasket offers investors professionally selected portfolios of up to 15 stocks, beginning with Steady-Divs, a dividend-focused basket designed to provide a more structured approach to investing in Philippine equities.
Building on 50 years for the next generation
At the center of these businesses is the Group’s investment banking arm, Unicapital, Inc. that has spent five decades providing the foundation for the Group’s broader financial services ecosystem, allowing it to serve businesses and investors through complementary capabilities in capital raising, lending, and securities.
Looking ahead, Unicapital Group aims to expand its market presence and capabilities further, strengthening its role in supporting businesses and investors as the Philippine economy enters its next phase of growth. Building on 50 years of experience, it looks toward the next chapter with a focus on deepening its market capabilities, creating greater value for its clients, and contributing to the businesses and investors that drive the country’s economic progress.
“Our first 50 years have been defined by the trust of our clients and partners and our role in helping capital move toward opportunities that create lasting value. As we look to the next 50 years, we will continue to build on this foundation by staying responsive to the needs of businesses and investors, embracing innovation, and helping shape a stronger and more dynamic Philippine capital market,” concluded Martirez.
