Security Bank Corporation (PSE: SECB) has been selected for inclusion in the FTSE Asia Pacific Small Cap Index, one of the region’s most recognized benchmarks used by global institutional investors.
The announcement, made as part of FTSE’s September 2025 quarterly review, reflects Security Bank’s growing stature in the Philippine financial sector and its consistent market performance. The inclusion took effect on September 19, 2025, after the close of business.
“This recognition underscores the trust that investors continue to place in Security Bank,” said Sanjiv Vohra, President & CEO. “Our commitment to delivering BetterBanking and creating long-term value for clients, communities, and shareholders is now being validated on a global stage.”
The FTSE Asia Pacific Small Cap Index is part of the FTSE Global Equity Index Series (GEIS), a comprehensive framework covering large-, mid-, small-, and micro-cap stocks across developed and emerging markets. Within this series, the FTSE Global Small Cap Index represents more than 5,800 stocks with a combined market capitalization of about USD 7 trillion.
Built on clear, rules-based criteria, FTSE GEIS provides investors with a transparent and unbiased view of global equity markets. Constituents are screened for liquidity and investability to ensure the index remains both tradable and representative. The index is calculated using price and total return methodologies and is reviewed and rebalanced quarterly to stay aligned with evolving market conditions.
Security Bank was among a select group of Philippine companies named in the FTSE review. Its inclusion highlights the Bank’s increasing relevance to international investors, who often use FTSE indices to guide their investment decisions.
“As we celebrate our 74th anniversary this year, being part of the FTSE Asia Pacific Small Cap Index reinforces our mission to be the most customer-centric bank in the Philippines,” added Vohra. “We see this milestone not only as market recognition but also as an inspiration to continue innovating and putting customers at the heart of everything we do.”
