History: 

Scotia DBG Investments opened its doors in 1992 as an investment firm under the name Dehring Bunting & Golding Ltd. (DB&G) which was subsequently acquired by Scotia Group Ltd. and renamed to Scotia DBG Invesments. The company has had a major impact on the regional capital market, by promoting investing and saving as a functional device for financing corporate and overall economic growth. The company’s capital market assignments have spanned several sectors of the Jamaican economy, and have involved multi-faceted stock and bond issues, privatization and financial advisory services, mergers and acquisitions, as well as syndicated loans.

The company that Scotia DBG Investments is today is due to a combination of growth, mergers and acquisitions. The company originally started as an investment house. In 2001 the agreement to take control of Billy Craig Finance & Merchant Bank Ltd. was finalized. Subsequently Issa Trust and Merchant Bank Ltd. was acquired, along with an authorized dealer license and thus was born Scotia DBG Merchant Bank Ltd. which added insured deposit products offered in both local and FX currencies, foreign exchange loans and lease financing to the suite of products offered by Scotia DBG.

In March 2000, Eagle Unit Trust Management Company was acquired which further broadened the menu of products offered to include two unit trust funds and subsequently representation of the CI Funds and Scotiabank Mutual Funds. Since then the DB&G Money Market Fund (MMF) is the largest money market fund in Jamaica.

As of September 2001, the company acquired a seat on the Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE) and was permitted to operate as a stockbrokerage. The brokerage service also brought with it a number of firsts to the Jamaican investor. The website gives exclusive access to a range of technical and fundamental information, including detailed company analyses and charts, along with Jamaica’s first real-time stock ticker.

The stockbrokerage unit is comprised of professional, experienced and committed staff. Its core function is to provide clients with credible, well-researched advice about the stock market and to execute trades with the utmost integrity and maximum efficiency. Some of the most notable transactions executed include, lead local broker in First Caribbean’s acquisition of additional shares in First Caribbean Jamaica – this was the first equity based regional transaction spanning Jamaica, Trinidad, and Barbados, the sale of J$79.5 million shares in Life of Jamaica Limited (LOJ) and the divestment of J$28.5 million Government’s shares in Radio Jamaica Limited (RJR).

In October 2006, the consumer finance initiative, – Easy Own – was launched through a subsidiary, Asset Management Company Limited. This service facilitates the ability to purchase furniture and major appliances, from participating vendors throughout Jamaica, on very manageable terms, through a hire purchase agreement.

In December 2007, the company was awarded 2 awards: Runner-up for Best Annual Report and 3rd place for Best Corporate Website. Prior to this in December 2006 it was the recipient of five awards, outperforming all other Jamaican publicly listed companies. These awards included:

   * Voted the Best Performing Company for the second consecutive year;
   * Recipient of the Governor General’s Award for Excellence as best overall listed company
   * Runners up in the areas of Best Practices Annual Report, Best Practices Website (Stockbrokerage) and Best Practices Website (Company).

In April 2008 the company was officially rebranded Scotia DBG Investments Limited, signifying its association with the Scotiabank Group.
