GT Capital Holdings Inc., the Ty family’s holding company, is prepared to invest up to USD200 million to diversify its business portfolio and reduce its reliance on the banking and automotive sectors. The company, majority stakeholder in Metropolitan Bank and Trust Co. and Toyota Motor Philippines Corp., is actively exploring new investment opportunities in sectors such as healthcare, renewable energy, and data centers. It considers these sectors as fragmented markets but with strong growth potential.
George Uy-Tioco Jr., GT Capital CFO, noted the firm’s focus on widening its reach and rebalancing its reliance on financial services and automotive that dominate its current holdings. Although the company has not finalized specific investment targets, discussions are underway to identify viable opportunities. GT Capital aims to make impactful investments that offer attractive returns, with a preference for acquisitions or partnerships over greenfield investments.
GT Capital also ruled out ventures into the gaming or vice-related industries, citing ethical concerns. The company’s strategy will prioritize sectors that align with its long-term goals and financial health. As part of its diversification, GT Capital plans to utilize excess cash from its operations for strategic investments that will drive future growth.
