What First Pacific offers
First Pacific has a mature market listing and offers access to defensive industries in the fastest-growing region of the world; none of our businesses is significantly affected by primary consequences of changes in foreign trade tariffs. First Pacific has three key guidelines in its strategy to maximise shareholder returns:
-
Stick to the industries we know – consumer foods, telecommunications, infrastructure and natural resources
-
Stick to one geography – the emerging economies of southeast Asia
-
Hold majority or significant stakes in our investments to ensure control over cash flows
Through 2024 the Company has had six years of profit growth, with the last four recording successive record highs. First Pacific management is confident of continuing earnings growth in the medium term owing to the strong market positions of our companies and the region’s continuing strong growth against a background of low inflation. In addition, all our investments are immune to the immediate consequences of any struggle over tariffs.
Assets include the world’s biggest maker of instant noodles (Indofood), the region’s largest privately owned toll road operator (MPTC), and the biggest power company (Meralco), telecommunications (PLDT), and water (Maynilad) companies in the Philippines. The company is also the biggest shareholder in Philex Mining, which plans to open a second gold and copper mine in 2026 using development funding already in place.
