Philam Asset Management, Inc. (PAMI) continued
its successful run of citations by once again being included among The Asset
Magazine’s list of top Investment Houses. The Asset Magazine is a prestigious
Hong Kong based publication that reviews and compares reports from all fund
houses in a given Asian country. Based on a comprehensive methodology that
includes quantitative benchmarks, weighted performance, and preference voting
from Astute Investor awardees, they are then ranked accordingly.
“We are honored that a prominent regional body
such as The Asset continues to hold PAMI in such high regard,” noted Eric
Lustre, President and CEO of PAMI. “We have been on quite a winning streak
lately, but rather than rest on our laurels, each award we receive motivates us
to strive harder,” he added.
Apart from their company recognition, two
members of their team were likewise given individual awards for their exceptional
market knowledge, acumen in making investment decisions, and overall trading
skills. Katherine Castelo, PAMI’s Head of Fixed Income Portfolio Management,
and Katherina Dizon, Philam Life’s Deputy Head of Fixed Income Securities
Trading Office both secured spots on the Philippines’ Most Astute Investors in
Local Currency Bonds list for 2017, ranking 10th and 5th respectively.
“PAMI is truly committed to our objective of
providing Filipinos with the kind of financial empowerment that they deserve.
This can only be realized if we have the most passionate and talented people
working together towards that goal,” Lustre enthused. “We have always believed
that our people are our greatest asset, and Rina and J (awardees Castelo and
Dizon) embody this,” he further noted.
