The Stock Market by definition is a place where shares of a company are bought and sold, it allows companies the opportunity to raise capital and it allows for the passage of information about prices and volumes so that investors can make informed and rational decisions about the sale or purchase of shares at their traded prices. In the Caribbean, there are more than a dozen national Stock Exchanges but only one formalized regional securities market known as the Eastern Caribbean Securities Exchange (ECSE). Among the largest are the Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE), the Trinidad & Tobago Stock Exchange (TTSE) and the Barbados Stock Exchange (BSE). These Exchanges offer the market a range of investment opportunities comprising equities, mutual funds and government bonds.
