The Investment Banking Department concentrates on guiding our clients with their investment decisions as well as creating and presenting investment opportunities for them. Our investment banking services include but are not limited to assisting various entities to raise capital in the form of debt and equity by way of private placement and a public offering. Since the inception of the Jamaica Stock Exchange Junior Market we have acted as lead broker to sixteen of the thirty stocks currently listed. Additionally, we have brokered various private and public debt transactions which saw us acting as lead broker for the first debt issue to be listed on the Jamaica Stock Exchange bond market.
