Will the New Trading Platform from Billionaires Tony Tancaktiong and Injap Sia Encourage More Filipinos to Trade in the Stock Market?

As of December 2021, the total number of individual investors in the Philippine Stock Exchange was 1,034,582. With the Philippine population at around 112 million, that means less than one percent of Filipinos are trading in the stock market. 

The rest of the 99 percent of the Filipino population is a huge market that new platforms like DragonFi Securities Inc. would like to exploit. Developed and operated by a company owned by billionaire businessmen and partners Tony Tancaktiong and Edgar “Injap” Sia, DragonFi launched its mobile and web stock trading platform on Monday (May 8).
