AIA Investment Management and Trust Corporation Philippines (AIAIM Philippines) is making noise in the fixed-income space after clinching Top Investment House recognition from The Asset, proving that disciplined bond investing still packs a punch.
At the Asset Triple A Awards—one of Asia’s most closely watched yardsticks for investment excellence—AIAIM Philippines earned Highly Commended honors in two hard-fought categories: Philippine Peso Local Currency Bonds and Philippine Peso G3 Bonds. The nod cements the firm’s reputation as a steady hand in an often jittery bond market.
The awards spotlight AIAIM Philippines’ knack for navigating volatile conditions while keeping peso-denominated portfolios resilient and well-balanced. As the investment arm of AIA Philippines, the firm manages local funds that support insurance products—where consistency, capital preservation, and long-term returns matter more than flashy bets.
Behind the accolades is a playbook built on rigorous research, active management, and tight risk controls. In a market buffeted by rate shifts and global uncertainty, AIAIM Philippines has leaned into fundamentals, favoring discipline over drama.
“This recognition affirms the strength of our investment process and the depth of expertise of our team,” said Angie Pacis, chief executive officer of AIA Investment Management and Trust Corporation Philippines. “In a challenging and volatile market environment, our priority is to deliver resilient, well-managed investment outcomes that support the long-term financial goals of our policyholders and clients.”
Pacis added that the awards underscore the firm’s long-game mindset. Guided by deep knowledge of the Philippine fixed income market and a clear-eyed view of risk, AIAIM Philippines continues to focus on building durable portfolios rather than chasing short-term wins.
In an industry where trust is currency, AIAIM Philippines’ latest honors signal that its peso bond strategy is firmly in the money.
