Jamaica is capital central
With the Jamaican equities market becoming more attractive due to the increased participation of investors, it is expected that more Caribbean companies will choose Jamaica as their destination to raise equity capital and potentially tap the debt markets. Following the cross-listing of Guardian Holding Limited (GHL) on May 5, Massy Holdings Limited expressed similar interest to cross-list its ordinary shares on the Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE). Although both companies were already listed on the Trinidad and Tobago Stock Exchange (TTSE), their market multiples were extremely low when compared to some of their Jamaican counterparts in similar industries who trade on the JSE. This new window of cross-listings opens the door for more Caribbean investors to extract value from the various companies which operate across the region. Neither GHL nor Massy have stated any intentions to raise additional equity capital on the JSE at the moment, but that might change in the coming months as both firms expand aggressively. " .
