FOREIGN publication The Asset has named BDO Capital and Investment Corp. (BDO Capital) the best domestic investment bank in the Philippines in the recently concluded The Asset Triple A Country Awards 2012 Southeast Asia.

BDO Capital, the investment-banking arm of BDO Unibank, Inc. (BDO), has been a recipient of the award for seven consecutive years.

BDO’s US$1 billion rights issue, on the other hand, was recognized the Best Deal in the Philippines by the same publication. The deal, completed in the first half of 2012, was led by Citi, Deutsche Bank, J.P Morgan as international underwriters; United Overseas Bank as co-lead manager; and BDO Capital, as domestic underwriter.

The Asset, a Hong Kong-based publication read by Asia’s financial decision makers, previously named another BDO subsidiary – BDO Private Bank – as the Philippines’ best private bank in its Triple A Investment Awards.
