SM bags multiple awards

MANILA, Philippines — SM Investments Corp. (SM) takes home three awards conferred by Hong Kong-based Alpha Southeast Asia magazine.

In the recent 11th Institutional Investor Corporate Awards 2021, SM received the nods from some of the 502 individual investors and analysts who voted to clinch the following recognitions: Most Organized Investor Relations, Best Senior Management Investor Relations (IR) Support, and Strongest Adherence to Corporate Governance.

The company topped two out of the three categories by garnering the highest number of votes for the Best Senior Management IR Support, the seventh consecutive year for SM and Strongest Adherence to Corporate Governance, its eighth year. For the Most Organized Investor Relations, this is the 10th year SM received this award.

SM Investments consultant for investor relations and sustainability Timothy Daniels said the awards are especially meaningful this time around, considering the challenges every industry has faced with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Participants included institutional investors, insurance companies, private banks, fund managers, equity and fixed income bankers, as well as buy and sell-side analysts, among others.
