Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE) Managing Director Marlene Street Forrest says over the last 10 years the percentage of investors in the local equities market has grown from 2 per cent to 10 per cent.

“What we have found also when we disaggregate is that many of these are younger persons in their 20s and 30s, who are reading and getting excited about the market. It means that we now have a demanding population, and as a result of that, it is important that in satisfying their demand, that we look towards elevating what we know and keeping ahead of even the investors, to deliver the best products and services,” she said at the virtual launch of the JSE e-Campus Caribbean Securities Trader Professional Certificate programme on Monday last.
