As the new CEO of the Jamaica Stock Exchange  (JSE) this was Livingstone Morrison’s first JSE Investments & Capital Markets Conference as the new boss and it was a tremendous success with a full house of attendees over the three-day event.

In his welcome message Morrison said: “This year’s theme, ‘Capital Markets Feeling Economic Resurgence and Resilience,’ is especially timely, given current regional and international developments affecting Jamaica, the wider region and our international partners, as they respond to shifting global priorities, the impact of climate change, and emerging trends that continue to influence businesses and people worldwide.

“In this post-Melissa era, Jamaica is steadily rebuilding with a strong sense of community and hope. In the face of adversity, we are witnessing early signs of recovery, a testament to the strength and adaptability of our people. To sustain this momentum, recovery and reconstruction efforts must be supported by adequate plans for the mobilisation of capital.

The session entitled “ The Duty of Due Care in Broker-Client Relationship, moderated by Lerone Palmer was particularly appropo given some significant events that marked 2025.

On the panel here were, Terise Kettle, Senior Vice President of Investment Banking, Barita Investments Limited; Dr. Karrian Hepburn Malcolm, Head of Wealth Management, NCB Bank Jamaica; Karl Townsend, Jamaica Chief Country Officer, Capital Markets, JMMB Group and Stuart South, Manager, Capital Markets, Sagicor Investments Jamaica.
