With the recent official announcement of the imported cases of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) to Jamaica, many are asking about the impact to their savings and investments, and what opportunities may lie ahead, said the Keith Duncan-led JMMB Group in a circular to members.

“The reality is that long before the virus reached our shores, the markets, in particular the equities market, in response to international news reports, were already experiencing increased volatility. The question on everyone’s mind is: What should I be doing now to remain on track to achieve my financial goals? JMMB believes that there are steps that our clients can take, and opportunities that they can leverage to achieve a winning outcome,” JMMB said.

JMMB said 2019 saw another bull run for the Jamaican stock market, with the main market index increasing by 31.3 per cent and the Junior Market Index growing by 3.15 per cent, with trading volumes increasing by 171.55 per cent.
