Multi-awarded premier financial services company Unicapital Group celebrates its 50th anniversary on September 8, 2026, marking five decades of mobilizing debt and equity capital for corporations, institutions, and emerging enterprises across the Philippines.
The milestone highlights Unicapital’s longstanding role in connecting businesses with capital and providing financial solutions designed to support growth across industries, with services ranging from investment banking and securities to lending and digital investment platforms such as ULoan and UTrade.
Since its establishment in 1976, Unicapital Group has served as a financial partner to growing businesses nationwide through its full-service investment banking, treasury, lending, and stock brokerage solutions.
Over the past five decades, the Group has built deep expertise in capital raising, debt and equity offerings, and mergers and acquisitions advisory, helping companies strengthen their financial foundations and gain greater access to capital as they pursue expansion and long-term growth.
Today, Unicapital works with a diverse portfolio of emerging and established companies across the Philippines, drawing on decades of experience in capital markets and financial advisory.
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 the Group’s experience in supporting clients as they pursue 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
A key strength of the Group is its ability to develop financial solutions tailored to the realities of running and growing a business.
Through ULoan by Unicapital Financial Investors, Inc. (UFII), the Group continues to broaden its financing solutions for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), giving businesses additional avenues to secure funding based on their evolving needs.
Alongside its established business loan products, ULoan has introduced Truck Financing and Corporate Salary Loans.
These offerings reflect a broader approach to MSME financing—one that goes beyond immediate working capital requirements to support different aspects of business operations, including day-to-day expenses, asset acquisition, and employee needs.
Making Investing More Accessible in the Philippines
As part of its efforts to make capital market participation more accessible, Unicapital continues to explore how technology, research, and information can empower more investors to participate with greater confidence.
Through Unicapital Securities, Inc. (USI) and its UTrade platform, investors can access the USI Research Team’s daily Market Research reports, providing insights designed to deepen their understanding of market developments and support more informed investment decisions.
UTrade is also bringing investor education and market intelligence into new digital spaces.
Through its weekly UTrade Rundown, investors can catch up on key market movements, timely developments, and research insights in a concise and easy-to-follow format across Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
Complementing this initiative is the Unicapital Market Sense Podcast, available on YouTube and Spotify, where investors can explore market trends, emerging opportunities, and expert perspectives in greater depth.
USI has also recently launched the UTrade WealthBasket, an automated investing solution available through the UTrade platform.
Curated by the Unicapital Research Team, WealthBasket provides investors with professionally selected portfolios of up to 15 stocks, beginning with Steady-Divs—a dividend-focused basket designed to offer a more structured approach to investing in Philippine equities.
Building on 50 Years for the Next Generation
At the heart of the Group’s financial services ecosystem is its investment banking arm, Unicapital, Inc., which has spent five decades building the foundation for the Group’s broader capabilities.
Its expertise in capital raising, lending, and securities enables Unicapital Group to serve businesses and investors through complementary financial solutions designed to address different stages of their financial and investment journeys.
Looking ahead, Unicapital Group aims to further expand its market presence and capabilities as the Philippine economy enters its next phase of growth.
Building on 50 years of experience, the Group is looking toward its next chapter with a focus on deepening its market capabilities, creating greater value for clients, and continuing to contribute to the businesses and investors helping 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.
