Philippine Stock Exchange Inc. runs the main stock market in the Philippines. It is the place where companies list their shares so investors can buy and sell them in an organized market. It also sets the trading rules, monitors market activity, and provides the systems that keep stock trading running smoothly.

The exchange makes money mainly by charging fees to companies and market participants that use its services. These include listing-related fees, trading-related fees, and other charges tied to market data and exchange services. Its customers are listed companies, securities brokers, and institutional and retail investors who depend on the exchange to raise capital, trade shares, and get reliable price information.

What makes the business different is that it sits at the center of the country’s capital markets. The PSE does not pick winners or sell investment products itself; it provides the marketplace and the rules that let others raise money and trade ownership stakes. That makes it a key piece of financial infrastructure, more like a regulated market operator than a normal operating company.
