The Caribbean Alternative Investment Association reaches out to Barbados and the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States for its third Virtual Road Show on Friday, November 5, 2021 at 9 a.m. The webinar will introduce the investment community in those territories to CARAIA and its objectives.

CARAIA has used virtual road shows to expand private capital networks in the Caribbean, as it seeks to solidify the region as an important investment destination.

“Our webinars help investors and entrepreneurs to further appreciate the opportunities for tailored financing through the alternative investment markets” said CARAIA director Audrey Richards.

“It is our aim to increase the potential for local and cross-country business growth, accelerate learning in industry best practices, and increase the region’s voice and visibility in global private equity, private credit, and venture capital markets.”

Prime Minister Mia Mottley has agreed to send a video message to the webinar, CARAIA’s chairman Chris Williams will welcome everyone, and director general of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States, Dr. Didacus Jules, will also share his remarks by video message.

Eppley’s Justin Nam will moderate a panel discussion that is a key component of the webinar. The panellists confirmed are: Barry O’Brien of Williams Caribbean Capital, Gregory Hill of Trinidad’s Ansa Group, and Simone Hudson of NCB Capital Market’s Stratus Funds.

Kevin Valley of Aspire Fund Management will give the closing remarks and vote of thanks. CARAIA invites corporate, institutional, and individual investors, business owners and advisors, attorneys, regulators and other public sector agencies, to register for this event at its website: www.caraia.org. or, reach out to its team for more information at: caraia@dbankjm. com. CARAIA was established in 2019 at the Development Bank of Jamaica, through its Jamaica Venture Capital Programme (JVCAPITAL).

Its 16 founding members include the DBJ and major corporate and institutional players in Jamaica’s private capital markets. CARAIA now has 20 members, with representation from Guyana, Trinidad & Tobago and Jamaica.

The Association aims to continue creating value for its members and to expand its membership network throughout the Caribbean and Central American Region. (PR)
