This milestone lives up to endless possibilities to tap on global opportunities and continue strengthening PhillipCapital’s footprints”, said Mr Loh Hoon Sun, Managing Director of Phillip Securities Pte Ltd, one of the member companies of PhillipCapital.
The banking sector in Borsa Istanbul has the largest market capitalization of 31.55%. There's a vast potential and we look forward in attracting attention of the Asian Investors to this sector further in the coming years with PhillipCapital Menkul Degerler", said Kerem Korur, GM of PhillipCapital Turkey.
The Chairman of PhillipCapital Group Mr Lim Hua Min opens the event on 17 May, 1.30pm at the SGX Centre 1, Level 2 Auditorium for a two-hour opportunity for the local investors to explore the Turkish market; find out more about the business and investment projects available; and personally meet the Borsa Istanbul and potential partners from Turkey.

Mng. of Finansbank), Mr. Okan Boke (Bloomberg TV Commentator), and Mr. Tansu Sesli (Head of International Capital Markets of PhillipCapital Menkul Degerler).
