Our visit to Falmouth, Trelawny this week reminded me once again why I believe so deeply in Jamaica. Nation‑building doesn’t happen in boardrooms alone — it happens one town, one satisfied customer, one new relationship at a time. It lives in the handshake of a small‑business owner, the resilience of a market vendor, and the quiet determination of the people NCB is proud to stand beside. For more than 189 years, that determination has been the foundation of our mission: to invest in Jamaica’s people with purpose, with conviction, and with heart.

History shows that whenever there is a shift in the dominant source of energy, there is a shift in economic power. I am pleased to be speaking today at the Canada Investors Retreat, hosted by Market Group in Québec City from June 8–10, 2026. This exclusive event brings together institutional and private wealth investors, senior industry leaders, and investment decision-makers to exchange insights and strategies shaping a rapidly shifting marketplace. During my fireside chat on June 9, “Strategic Investing in the Nuclear Era: Precision Oncology and Energy Transition,” I will share Portland’s perspective on why nuclear is re-emerging as a critical long-term theme across clean energy, medical isotopes, targeted cancer care, and infrastructure. For institutional and long-term investors, the opportunity lies in understanding the broader ecosystem forming around this shift and where disciplined capital can create durable value. My colleague Rogerio Tippe, MBA will also be attending, and we look forward to connecting with investors and industry leaders throughout the retreat. @MarketsGrp

I believe Canada is in the pole position of the global nuclear renaissance and today’s conversation at Georgian College highlighted the opportunity ahead. From clean, reliable energy to medical isotopes that support healthcare, nuclear innovation can contribute to shaping the future of both our economy and global health. My message to students, educators, industry leaders, and policymakers: predict, plan, persevere. When we invest in talent, infrastructure and bold ideas, Canada doesn’t just participate — we lead. Grateful to the Barrie Chamber of Commerce and Georgian College for hosting today’s powerful dialogue on the future we’re building together. barrie360.com/canada-nuclear…

Walking through the new Morant Bay Urban Centre on Thursday left me energized. From engaging with the Municipal Council to connecting with the students and faculty of Morant Bay High School, the visit reinforced the importance of listening, learning, and investing in our communities. There is no substitute for being in the field and seeing firsthand how the people of Morant Bay live, work, and build their futures. It brought into sharp focus the impact that vision, partnership, and purposeful development can have on a community. The transformation taking place across Morant Bay is a powerful reminder of what is possible when vision meets action. #buildingabetterjamaica @ncbjmaica

Old Harbour High School is a powerful example of what disciplined leadership, high standards, and a clear vision can achieve. During my visit, I saw a school that is not only excelling academically but also shaping the character and potential of Jamaica’s next generation. Through this MOU, N.C.B. Foundation and Old Harbour High School are formalizing a partnership aimed at strengthening the institution, expanding opportunities for students, and supporting sustainable national development. When we invest in schools that demonstrate excellence, we invest in Jamaica’s future. jamaicaobserver.com/2026/04/… jamaica-gleaner.com/article/… #NCBFoundation #OldHarbourHigh #BuildingABetterJamaica

Forty years of investing distilled into a handful of truths: Patience compounds. Discipline outperforms emotion. Long‑term thinking beats the noise. Resilience carries you through the cycles. The principles are simple — the commitment to follow them is where wealth is built.
