PSE Block Trades in Philippines
Block-trade financing and discreet execution for large lines listed on Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) — the Philippines principal cash-equity venue.
About Philippine Stock Exchange.
Philippine Stock Exchange is the principal cash-equity venue of the Philippines. Founded in 1992 (unification of Manila and Makati Stock Exchanges), it operates under the oversight of Securities and Exchange Commission (Philippines), and its leading benchmarks are PSEi (PSE Composite Index). Listing standards are set out in the PSE Listing Rules; Securities Regulation Code (R.A. 8799).
The sole equity exchange of the Philippines, with a concentrated index led by family-controlled conglomerates and infrastructure issuers. Foreign-equity ceilings in regulated sectors are central to whether a non-resident line can be pledged.
What qualifies on PSE.
PSE is an established but selective venue; we weigh eligibility against the stock’s liquidity, free float, and how concentrated the holding is.
For any given PSE position, our review looks at: free float and daily traded volume against the size of the transaction; your status (controlling shareholder, director, substantial shareholder) and the disclosure that follows; the issuer’s sector and listing segment; and what the transaction must do (LTV, tenor, currency, recourse, custody).
Framework cited on PSE.
The principal regulatory reference on PSE is SRC Rule 18.2. How it applies to any single transaction — reporting levels, step thresholds — turns on the underlying rules and national-law overlays, which we map against your contemplated transaction at the structuring stage alongside the counsel you appoint.
The citations above are public regulatory references, given for orientation only and not as legal advice. Take independent legal advice in the relevant jurisdiction for any specific transaction.
