President's message
Experience and proven track record
"We do not belong to the plurality of competitors that come from traditional groups or banking groups. And thus, we only respond to one fundamental purpose: the well-being of our clients."
Roberto Brenes
President | Singular Corporation
Singular is not a name that we found shocking or fashionable.
Singular defines us.
Singular identifies us both in its grammatical sense and in its conceptual scope.
The dictionary says that singular means “individual”; Opposite of “plural.” That's us,
We do not belong to the plurality of competitors that come from traditional groups or banking groups. And so, we only respond to one fundamental purpose; the well-being of our clients.
We generate our philosophy and our business strategy from this bilateral relationship without limitations or borders with other entities in the financial market. What is good for our customers is what is good for us.
But, that notion of the singular as opposed to many, is the form and not the substance. In its most precise sense singular is "unique", "exceptional". And from there we build an investment culture, which empowers and inspires us.
This founding culture comes with the experience, successes and vision of the founders, the growing number of partners and collaborators.
Through my years as a regulator, stock market manager, businessman and investment banker I have experienced the good and bad sides of market development.
I have seen how the best for the client and the best of the investment house often contradict each other. I have seen how regional opportunities are wasted where Panama can and should undertake them.
Without complicating the words, there is our agenda. Opportunity by opportunity, client by client. Exceptional solutions and strategies like good ateliers, tailored to each client, without sparing talent, effort and patience.
Thank you for giving us that opportunity to be unique.
Our mission is unique

We have followed a path of growth and consolidation in a context of challenges and opportunities, with achievements that have allowed us to cement our presence and enhance our value proposition.
