Your
Investment Connections Stockbrokers
& Financial Advisors
Welcome to the professionals who can guide you
into making either your first (stock or money market)
investment or get you started again in the building
of your family wealth. Recall that the focus of
the Investor
Education side of our site
is twofold. The first is to help to educate you
about investment principles and practices and to
illustrate this through the investment insights
of some of the world’s leading investors
and investing authorities.
The second, based on your new knowledge and confidence,
is to encourage you to become investors in quality
Caribbean listed companies and to lend your money
to what the investment trade calls ‘blue
chip’ borrowers (which includes Caribbean
governments.) In respect of listed companies,
there is a wealth of performance and general information
on each that can be accessed very easily by going
to the website of stockbrokers and other investment
intermediaries. For your investing convenience,
most of these companies are listed below on a country
basis. This means that, if you want to invest in
Barbados, go to one of those listed under Barbados.
Similarly, if you want to invest on Jamaica, The
Eastern Caribbean or Trinidad & Tobago, go
to an intermediary in each of these countries.
Once you make the initial contact, someone in these
companies will respond to your inquiries and assist
you in deciding on how best to make your investment.
From this initial contact, you can build a long
term relationship in your investment programme.
The person with whom you build this relationship
will become your broker and financial advisor.
The same applies to lending your money to any of
the borrowers. Blue chip borrowers are companies
with solid reputations of trust and integrity.
This means that when they “issue a bond” i.e.
ask you to lend them your money, (give them a borrows!)
you can do so knowing that they have the capacity
to earn profit, and the integrity to pay you back
your principal plus interest at ‘pay back’ time
i.e. when the bond (‘borrows’) fall
due.
Who are these Investment Connections?
They are the stockbrokers and financial advisors
who can guide you as you move through the stages
of becoming a seasoned investor. You will recall
that we http://www.transformyourself.com.jm do
not offer specific or professional investment advice.
We are strictly a ‘school without walls
and without fees’. The companies and persons
listed below have, however, been approved and licensed
to offer that service. They are listed on a country

the OECS are listed specifically. Click
on each company site and follow the “Contact
Us” or their e-mail link to get their attention
and response.
.The other Investment Connections in various other
countries can be found in a variety of ways, most
notably, by going to a regional stock exchange
and searching for links to these companies and
persons. For example, if a South African in London
wants to invest in a South African listed company,
he/she can go to the Johannesburg Stock Exchange
(JSE) http://www.jse.co.za/ and
find at least two links for Brokers http://www.sais.co.za/html/awards.html and
Financial Analysts http://www.cfa.ac.za/ These
links can be followed to find specific persons

smaller islands in the CSME. To find their stockbrokers
and financial advisors, go to the site (see above)
and click on Intermediaries. This link will take
you to each island in the OECS currency union.
