In 2024, UCB Investment Ltd. again demonstrated its leadership in the financial sector by being recognised as the "Best Investment Bank in Bangladesh" by both the Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2024 and the FinanceAsia Award 2024.

These prestigious accolades mark an extraordinary milestone for UCB Investment, underscoring its unwavering commitment to innovation, excellence, and client satisfaction in investment banking. Celebrating its 4th year of operation, UCB Investment has quickly risen to prominence, setting new benchmarks in Bangladesh's financial markets through its comprehensive, client-focused services. The dual recognition highlights the company's success and makes its fourth anniversary momentous. These achievements further solidify UCB Investment's position as a key player in driving sustainable economic growth and advancing Bangladesh's financial landscape. This is the second consecutive year that UCBIL has achieved these recognitions. UCBIL was also awarded in 2023 as the Best Investment Bank in Bangladesh by Euromoney and Finance Asia.

UCBIL's holistic, 360-degree investment banking services range from financing through Fixed Income Securities, Syndication, and Issue Management to Merger & Acquisition, Portfolio Management, and Corporate Advisory. In addition, it emphasises sustainable economic growth and client-focused solutions, striving to be a long-term partner to its clients by offering a "beyond service" approach. With an impressive track record, UCBIL raised approximately BDT 12,000 crore and completed 53 deals by August 2024, a figure unmatched by any other investment bank in Bangladesh. One of the remarkable contributions of UCBIL towards the market is that it was the issue manager of 08 corporate bonds on the DSE Main Board out of 16 listed bonds, which covers 50% of the market till date.
