In its ongoing mission to make investing more inclusive and accessible for Filipinos, UTrade, the online stock trading platform of Unicapital Securities, Inc., took bold steps this July to empower aspiring investors from Luzon to Visayas. Through two back-to-back events, UTrade created engaging learning experiences that showed how stock market investing can be a powerful tool for growth not just for individuals, but also for entrepreneurs and franchise owners looking to diversify their income.
On July 5, 2025, UTrade kicked off the month with Kapihan with Unicapital: Invest in U – Learn the Basics of Stock Investing, held at The Wrkspce in Legazpi Village, Makati. The event brought together professionals, creatives, side hustlers, and young breadwinners for an intimate and beginner-friendly session that broke down the basics of stock investing. With overflowing brews, comforting snacks, and open discussions, the Kapihan became more than just a financial talk. It became a space of encouragement, where attendees could ask real questions, share personal aspirations, and finally take the first steps toward investing. As a special incentive, UTrade offered an exclusive promo where attendees could open an account with only ₱1,000 instead of the standard ₱10,000, lowering the barrier to entry and allowing the full amount to go directly into their investments. For many first-timers, this became the spark they needed to begin their financial journey with confidence.
Shortly after, UTrade extended its impact to the Visayas by joining the 26th Cebu Franchise Expo from July 18 to 20, 2025, at the Mountain Wing Atrium of SM Seaside City Cebu. This three-day expo brought together business owners, franchise seekers, and SMEs from across the region, and UTrade was there to present a fresh perspective, one that invited entrepreneurs to think beyond their current business operations and consider stock investing as a way to build long-term, sustainable wealth. At Booth No. 114, the UTrade team welcomed hundreds of attendees, offering real-time investing guidance, account registration assistance, and the same ₱1,000 account opening promo extended exclusively for the event. The booth became a lively hub of conversations about growth, diversification, and how to turn business success into financial freedom through the power of the stock market.
These two events reflect UTrade’s growing movement to bring investing closer to everyday Filipinos. Whether in a cozy coworking space or a bustling trade expo, UTrade is committed to meeting people where they are, offering them practical tools, expert support, and the confidence to start investing, no matter their background. As UTrade continues to grow its reach across the country, one thing remains clear: financial empowerment begins the moment you decide to invest in yourself.
