DragonFi Becomes First Philippine Broker-Dealer Approved for Global Equities Access
DragonFi Securities, Inc. has received approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission to enter the SEC Strategic Sandbox (Stratbox) program, making it the first licensed Philippine broker-dealer authorized to offer Filipino investors access to global equities and ETFs through an Over-the-Counter Depositary Receipt (OTC DR) model.
"This is a defining milestone for DragonFi and for Philippine investors," said Jon Carlo Lim, CEO and co-founder of DragonFi. "Filipinos should be able to participate in the world's largest capital markets through a structure that is locally regulated, transparent, and built with investor protection at its core."
The framework ties global access directly to local participation — investors with certified domestic holdings can access pre-approved foreign offerings worth up to 50% of their value, while PERA holders can invest up to 100% of their equivalent Philippine investment value.
As SEC Commissioner McJill Bryant T. Fernandez put it, "We remain committed to ensuring that our local capital markets are equally, if not better, promoted" even as access to global securities expands for retail investors.
We're proud of this milestone, and we know it's just the beginning of bringing world-class investing within reach of every Filipino.
