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.

02 · Eligibility
For Institutional Positions

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).

03 · Disclosure
SEC (PH)

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.

PSE · Stock Loans

What holders ask about PSE.

01How much can I borrow against a PSE-listed holding?
The loan-to-value is set to the specific holding — free float, daily traded volume, volatility, and your regulatory standing. We quote indicative ratios only after reviewing the actual PSE position.
02Which PSE segments can I borrow against?
We look at each case across the segments Philippine Stock Exchange runs: Main Board; SME Board; Dollar Denominated Securities Board. Higher tiers are usually simpler to structure, as free float and liquidity are deeper.
03What currency can the facility be drawn in?
The default is PHP, the listing currency. Cross-currency structures are common and readily arranged.
