SM Investments Corp. (SMIC), the flagship of the Sy family, has been named by Hong Kong-based publication FinanceAsia as the best large cap company in the Philippines, based on its highly anticipated Best Companies Poll 2025.
The conglomerate, which marked its 20th listing anniversary on the Philippine Stock Exchange on March 24, 2025, grew its market capitalization by 770 percent to ₱1.1 trillion by end-2024, up from ₱127 billion at the end of 2005, the year it was listed.
Nominated by Asia’s active community of influential investors and financial analysts, the Asia’s Best Companies Poll evaluates the corporate behavior and performance of Asian companies over the past 12 months.
“Being recognized as one of Asia’s best companies by investors and analysts who see our commitment to creating long-term and shared value for our shareholders is a reflection of our ongoing growth journey. We are grateful for this citation,” said SMIC President and CEO Frederic C. DyBuncio.
Excelling in their respective industries, SMIC received accolades in the conglomerates and investor relations categories.
Consistent in its efforts in excellent corporate governance, SMIC was also named as one of the companies most committed to ESG, or environmental, social, and governance.
In the SM Group, BDO Unibank Inc. was cited in the financials category, while SM Prime Holdings Inc. was recognized in the best large cap, real estate, and investor relations categories.
Named among the best CEOs were SMIC Vice Chairperson and BDO Chairperson Teresita Sy-Coson and SM Prime President Jeffrey Lim. John Nai Peng Ong of SM Prime, meanwhile, received gold in the best chief finance officer category.
