Strategy on Target

The 2014 financial year presented both rewards and challenges for our company. It was a year that demanded significant effort from our management and staff, while at the same time, required patience and perseverance to deliver on our promises to you our valued shareholders.

Despite the challenges we faced, we are pleased to report to you, our valued shareholders, a net profit of $726 million, an increase of $624 million from the year prior, resulting in earnings per share of $0.60, an improvement over the $0.09 earned in 2013.

The year 2015 will mark the 30th anniversary of our company’s operations. This makes us one of the longest serving companies around and a pillar in the financial industry. It also shows that our core values have led us along a successful path driven by sustainability. Though the growth in the Jamaican economy is slow, there are encouraging signs of improvement.

We are now poised to take advantage of any opportunities for growth that may arise whilst mitigating the associated risks. Among our priorities going forward, we will be looking to streamline our structure to allow for leaner, more efficient, integrated operations. We will help our clients achieve their goals with the best possible advice and strategic solutions and adapting to the evolving regulatory landscape. We will continue to create the best working environment for our staff and serve the communities in which we work and live through corporate citizenship.
