J.S. Johnson named inaugural featured Issuer in year-long initiative highlighting publicly listed Bahamian companies.
The Bahamas International Securities Exchange (BISX) has launched a new investor awareness campaign, “Own a Piece of It” designed to help Bahamians learn more about the companies listed on The Exchange, beginning with J.S. Johnson & Company Limited (JSJ) as the inaugural featured Issuer.
BISX Chief Executive Officer; Keith Davies noted: "Every day, Bahamians support companies that create jobs, provide essential services and contribute to our economy. Through Own a Piece of It, we want people to realize they can do more than just support those businesses. They can also become part owners through share ownership. By making investing more familiar and accessible, we hope to inspire greater participation in the Bahamas capital market."
The campaign is built on a simple idea; the companies that help shape The Bahamas are not only businesses we support, but they are also businesses we can own. BISX will spotlight one listed company each month including Colina Group of Companies, Cable Bahamas Limited, Bank of The Bahamas and more in the months ahead.
Through interviews, videos and educational content, the campaign will explore each company’s history, contribution to The Bahamas and journey as a publicly listed business, while introducing the public to the role of the capital market and the benefits of share ownership. The initiative aims to make investing more relatable, accessible and relevant by helping Bahamians better understand the companies behind the brands and what it means to become a shareholder.
J.S. Johnson: The First Company Featured
JSJ provides personal and commercial insurance solutions throughout The Bahamas and employs more than 150 professionals, including the country's largest team of professionally qualified general insurance specialists.
As one of The Bahamas’ oldest continuously operating businesses and one of the country’s most recognized insurance providers, JSJ represents the type of company this campaign was created to highlight: a Bahamian institution with a long history, a strong local presence and an opportunity for citizens to participate in its future growth. In 1986, the company opened its ownership to the Bahamian public, giving investors the opportunity to participate in its future growth and later listed on BISX in 2000. That commitment continues today through its listing on BISX.
Publicly Listed companies will be featured across BISX’s website and social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn, through executive interviews, educational videos, company highlights and behind-the-scenes content that explores the company's history, leadership and evolution as a publicly owned business.
JSJ Chief Financial Officer, Racardo Underwood stated “Since becoming publicly listed on BISX in 2000, Bahamians have had the opportunity to become shareholders in J.S. Johnson & Company Limited. Being listed reflects our commitment to transparency, accountability and long-term growth, while allowing Bahamians to participate in the company’s continued success. As with any investment, individuals should conduct their own research and make informed decisions.”
At its core, Own a Piece of It is about helping Bahamians understand that investing begins with knowledge.
The companies listed on BISX represent businesses that create jobs, contribute to economic growth and improve the everyday lives of people throughout The Bahamas. By sharing their stories, BISX aims to make the Capital Market more understandable and encourage more Bahamians to explore the opportunities available through investing.
Supporting a company is one thing. Owning a Piece of It another.
