BISX Executives pictured with C. V. Bethel Grade 11 Students
The Bahamas International Securities Exchange (BISX) spent the Morning of Tuesday 8th March 2016 with the 11th Grade Commerce class of the C.V. Bethel Senior High School. Speaking to the students was BISX Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Keith Davies, Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Holland Grant and Intern, Miss Alika Hepburn. The students were given the opportunity to learn about the stock exchange and to ask questions that will benefit them both in completing their academic curriculum, but also in their investing lives.
BISX Chief Executive, Keith Davies commented on the visit: “I would like to thank Mr. Shavado Gibson for having contacted BISX to arrange the session with his commerce class for the second year consecutively, it has been a pleasure to assist the teachers in the ongoing effort to educate our youth. C.V. Bethel’s efforts to empower students through education is commendable and we are pleased to assist them in this exercise.”
During the speaking session, the BISX executives spoke about stocks, bonds, mutual funds and interpreting the BISX price sheet. During the session, Mr. Davies also took time to educate the students on the rules and regulations of the stock exchange. He noted: “I enjoy talking about the stock exchange and giving the students a better understanding of what all takes place within the Exchange. Giving students the opportunity to speak with senior executives informally about investments and other economic concerns will benefit them in their upcoming national exams and as future investors. I hope that I was able to impart some advice that will be invaluable to these students in the future.”
Speaking about the session BISX Chief Operating Officer, Holland Grant noted: “It was a pleasure speaking to C.V. Bethel High School. I also enjoyed the fact that in addition to investing, we were able to speak to the students about our professional and educational experiences. BISX welcomes opportunities to speak to students who are preparing for the BGCSE Exams, as well as those students who were moving towards graduation and on into the work force. We hope that the information that we imparted to the students will benefit them throughout the rest of their educational journey.”
