NCB Capital Markets Limited on Wednesday (August 27) announced the appointment of Stacy-Ann Tait as its new chief investment officer, bringing nearly two decades of financial industry experience to the role.

Tait, who holds both chartered financial analyst (CFA) and chartered alternative investment analyst (CAIA) designations, will lead the company’s investment strategy and oversee the growth and performance of its funds under management.

She steps into the role at a time when NCB Cap Markets is looking to deepen its regional footprint and
sharpen its response to shifting economic and regulatory conditions.

“Stacy-Ann’s appointment is an important step in the continued evolution of our investment leadership,” said Angus Young, chief executive of NCBCM. “She is known for being a high-performer, and she takes a rigorous and thoughtful approach to risk. I’m confident that her leadership will only further strengthen our capabilities and the outcomes we deliver for clients.”

Her professional background includes work in portfolio management, risk and fund management, and corporate finance. She also serves as the first vice president of the Jamaica Securities Dealers Association (JSDA), where she contributes to policy discussions and advocacy efforts affecting Jamaica’s capital markets.

“I’m excited to step into this role at such a pivotal time for the investment industry,” said Stacy-Ann Tait. “The capital market is evolving rapidly, and with that comes tremendous opportunity for growth and innovation, both here in Jamaica and across the region. I look forward to collaborating with the team to deliver strong, sustainable outcomes for our clients and stakeholders. My focus will be on building strategies that not only respond to today’s challenges but also position the organisation for long-term success in an increasingly complex financial landscape.”

NCB noted that Tait’s appointment adds to the growing list of women in top-tier finance roles across the Jamaica-based financial giant and the wider Caribbean.
