The Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) will hold this year’s edition of the Road to IPO on Oct. 22, 2024 for companies planning to raise capital through the equities market.
In a statement, the PSE said the event will feature presentations and discussions on what going public entails.
The PSE is staging the Road to IPO 2024 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as partner and the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office through Mobilising Institutional Capital Through Listed Products (MOBILIST) as co-host.
“PSE’s maiden Road to IPO forum was held in 2021, in time for the introduction of the Exchange’s Revised Listing Rules,” said PSE President and CEO Ramon S. Monzon.
He added that “we have always held this forum virtually to accommodate more participants and attendees from across the country. This time, we feel that we should focus on those who are more serious about their IPO plans and give them access to the stakeholders in the capital market.”
The forum will feature a presentation on Capitalizing on Market Opportunities: Outlook and Investments Insights.
It will also have three panel discussions namely: Beyond the Ticker: Lessons Learned from Successful IPOs, Empowering Sustainable Development: An Introduction to MOBILIST, and Igniting Investor Interest: Crafting a Compelling Narrative for Your Company.
“Companies will definitely get extensive and first-hand information on how an IPO journey unfolds from the discussions since we invited senior executives representing publicly listed companies and investment houses to share their experience and expertise,” Monzon noted.
The event participants will also get the opportunity to meet and interact directly with the country’s top issue managers and underwriters.
BDO Capital & Investment Corporation, China Bank Capital Corporation, First Metro Investment Corporation, Investment & Capital Corporation of the Philippines, PNB Capital and Investment Corporation, and SB Capital Investment Corporation will have their respective booths to entertain the executives of companies that are in attendance.
