UCB Investment facilitates Tk17,000cr in capital raising

UCB Investment Limited has facilitated capital raising of more than Tk17,000 crore through 61 transactions since 2020, the company said in a press release marking its sixth anniversary.

The company was named Bangladesh’s Best Investment Bank by Euromoney for the fourth consecutive year in 2026. It also received the Best Investment Bank for Financing Solutions award at the Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2026.

UCB Investment has acted as issue manager for half of the bonds listed on the main board of the Dhaka Stock Exchange. Its services include equity and debt financing, structured finance, mergers and acquisitions, corporate advisory, valuation and loan syndication.

As Bangladesh’s primary equity market faces a drought of new IPOs lasting more than two years, UCB Investment is working to facilitate a new listing. On 18 October, the company organised a roadshow for a power-sector company planning to launch an initial public offering (IPO) through the book-building method.

The anniversary event was attended by Mohammad Mamdudur Rashid, chief executive officer of United Commercial Bank PLC; Adnan Masud, additional managing director of the bank; and Tanzim Alamgir, managing director and CEO of UCB Investment.

Senior officials from UCB, UCB Investment, UCB Stock Brokerage and UCB Asset Management also attended the event.
