For Iloilo residents exploring different ways to participate in the stock market, a new share offering from Arthaland Corporation will be available through GStocks PH this September.
Arthaland Corporation (ALCO) is set to offer its Series G and Series H preferred shares from September 14 to 25, 2026, providing eligible retail investors with an opportunity to subscribe to the securities through the digital investment platform available in the GCash app.
The shares are priced at ₱500 each. Series G (ALCPG) carries a stated dividend rate of 7.3260% per annum, while Series H (ALCPH) carries 7.8105% per annum, subject to the terms and conditions of the offering.
Subscriptions through GStocks PH are facilitated by AB Capital Securities Inc., the broker offering the platform. This gives eligible investors a digital channel for participating in the follow-on offering without having to go through an in-person broker transaction.
GStocks PH also provides tools that allow investors to keep track of the subscription process. A built-in subscription meter shows the availability of shares allocated to the broker, while allocation information is provided as subscriptions are processed.
In case the broker’s initial tranche is fully taken up and the offering becomes oversubscribed through GStocks PH, investors may still place orders, with allocation results released after the offer period.
The availability of the Arthaland offering comes as digital platforms continue to expand the ways retail investors can access the Philippine capital markets. For GCash, the initiative forms part of its efforts to make investment services available alongside the other financial services offered through its platform.
“Financial inclusion is not only about more financial services. It is about creating a simpler, more rewarding experience that keeps Filipinos’ needs in mind. By digitizing financial services and making investing more convenient, we make it easier for Filipinos to participate and take greater control of their financial journeys,” said Winsley Bangit, Group Head of New Businesses at Mynt.
Fully verified GCash users can access GStocks PH by going to Invest on the GCash app. Eligible users can also transfer funds to and from their GCash wallet without maintaining a separate bank account.
Preferred shares generally have specified dividend rates and priority over common shareholders when dividends are distributed. However, the stated dividend rates are not guaranteed investment returns, and the securities remain subject to investment risks and the terms of the offering.
Iloilo investors considering the offering are encouraged to review Arthaland’s disclosures and offer documents, understand the risks involved, and determine whether the investment is suitable for their financial goals and circumstances.
The Arthaland Series G and H preferred share offering will be open from September 14 to 25, 2026.
