Investment & Capital Corporation of the Philippines (ICCP) is a leading Philippine investment house with a unique character and orientation.

     As an institution, ICCP places great emphasis on the ethical conduct of its business and services and on the dedication of its officers and staff to high standards of professional competence. Its activities transcend areas beyond the scope of typical investment houses, even as it eschews certain functions normally associated with investment banking in the Philippines.

     ICCP's principal thrusts run along two parallel tracks: investment banking and project development. ICCP does not engage in money market trading, the lending of money for its own account, stock brokering, and other such activities.

     ICCP commenced operations in January 1988 with a capital base of P100 million. In 16 years, it has grown into a diversified conglomerate, commonly known as the ICCP Group, with assets owned or managed of approximately P9 billion as of December 31, 2004.

Its Concept of Relationships

     One of the strengths of ICCP lies in the fact that it builds and nurtures long lasting relationships with its clients. ICCP seeks to make creative and meaningful contributions to the interests of its clients based on deep and well-thought-out analyses of their situations as well its wide-ranging experience in the business world. ICCP also devises practical and effective solutions, recommendations or approaches to the engagement at hand.

     ICCP’s principal activities in the investment banking field include the following:

• Mergers and Acquisitions Advisory
• Financial Advisory
• Equity and Debt Underwriting
• Private Equity Placement
• Loan Arrangement and Syndication
• Project Finance
• Privatization Consultancy
• Project Origination, Packaging, Development, and Management
• Venture Capital Access

     ICCP can be involved in the early stages of a company's or a project's development through the provision of financial advice as an input to feasibility studies as well as raising the required capital therefore ICCP, through the varied backgrounds of its senior management, is well equipped to offer ongoing financial advisory services which can assist clients in adapting to changing market and economic conditions as well as in monitoring potential market cycles that may affect the performance of the business. ICCP's on going services also include assisting the client in raising additional capital funds via the equities or debt markets, both public and private.

     Through its synergy with the other companies in the ICCP Group, ICCP can also offer additional advice that may range from "where the client can locate its manufacturing operations" to "what trade shows the client may want to participate in.” Through the Group’s experience in property development, in the fields of both industrial estates and residential/mixed use developments, it can also provide knowledgeable guidance to clients in this industry. The ICCP Group is also active in venture capital, hence ICCP is in a position to evaluate projects with this type of orientation as a background as well.
