ATRKE Capital distinguishes itself from its local peers by evolving from being a purely domestic lead underwriter into a global issue manager and bookrunner.  It has achieved this because its professionals have the experience to structure and execute large and complex deals, and because it has the global reach to place and distribute shares to investors outside the Philippines through its association with Kim Eng Securities of Singapore.

 

First Among Philippine Investment Banks

 

With the successful May, 2008 initial public offering of San Miguel Brewery, Inc. (SMB), ATR KimEng Capital Partners became the first Philippine investment house to jointly lead and underwrite a global equity offering, thereby distributing IPO shares to qualified foreign investors.

 

A Leading Financial Advisor

 

In December 2007, ATR KimEng Capital Partners acted as financial advisor to the international consortium which successfully won control of the Philippine transmission grid, the single largest privatization in the Philippines to date.
