Quantas Advantage Inc (QAINC) yesterday, July 1, 2026, marked a historic milestone with its successful listing on both the Jamaican Dollar Main Market and the USD Equities Market of the Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE).

JSE Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Livingstone Morrison, congratulated Quantas Advantage, on its more than 2,200 new shareholders and lead broker JMMB Securities Limited. He highlighted significant increase in the number of investors’ accounts in the Jamaica Central Securities Depository (JCSD) that had tripled over the past decade - from under 150,000 in 2015 to 427,000 in 2025, signaling that more Jamaicans were choosing to build wealth through share ownership.
Addressing the company's leadership, Mr. Morrison said, "More than 2,200 Jamaicans have placed their trust, confidence and capital in your hands. I challenge you as I challenge all listed companies to give the smallest shareholder on the register the same regard you give to the largest."
QAINC’s Chairman, Mrs. Jacqueline Sharp, thanked the partners, advisers and investors for their support and reaffirmed the Company’s commitment to being a dividend-paying company. She also highlighted the regional significance of the listing noting, that Quantas Advantage is a Barbados incorporated company, now listed in Jamaica. “That speaks to the opportunity that regional capital can play in financing regional growth."
