Filinvest Land, Inc. (FLI) and Filinvest REIT Corp. (FILRT) have been included in a special investment fund that focuses on companies helping make the world more sustainable, according to a press release filed with the Philippine Stock Exchange on May 28, 2026.
Think of it this way: imagine a teacher choosing only the best students who not only get good grades but also help take care of their school and community. That’s similar to what happened here. The ATRAM Trust Corporation Philippine Sustainable Development and Growth Fund (ATRAM SDG Fund) picked FLI and FILRT to be part of their special group of companies.
What Makes This Fund Special?
The ATRAM SDG Fund is the first investment fund in the Philippines that focuses on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. These are like a big checklist of things the world needs to work on to make life better for everyone—things like clean water, affordable energy, and building better cities.
The fund doesn’t just pick any company. Out of all the companies listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange, only about 20 make it into this fund’s portfolio. To get chosen, companies need to show they’re doing two things well: making money (good financial performance) and helping the environment and society (strong sustainability practices).
Why Were FLI and FILRT Chosen?
According to Tristan Las Marias, President and CEO of Filinvest Land, sustainability isn’t just something they talk about—it’s built into how they design buildings, construct them, and run them every day. The company works on several important goals including building sustainable cities, providing clean energy, and ensuring clean water.
Filinvest REIT, which manages office buildings and commercial properties, also focuses on making buildings that use energy efficiently and have green certifications. Maricel Brion-Lirio, FILRT’s President and CEO, explained that being included in this fund shows that investors are noticing their sustainability efforts and that they’re ready to meet what modern investors expect.
About the Fund’s Performance
The ATRAM SDG Fund has been doing well compared to the general Philippine Stock Exchange Index. According to the press release, the fund manages between ₱300 million to ₱400 million in assets and delivered returns of approximately 17.6% to 18.6% in 2024. This shows that more investors are interested in putting their money into companies that care about sustainability.
