Welcome to this the 8th season of the Caribbean Masters Competition.  It promises to be exciting and informative.

‘The Caribbean Masters competition involves Financial Analysts from both Trinidad & Tobago, and Jamaica. The participants consist of four individuals, three from Jamaica and one from Trinidad & Tobago. 

The individuals are given a specified sum of money to invest.  Their objectives are to maximise returns on investments while maintaining the capital.  The competition was launched by Today’s Money Limited in an effort to educate the general public on how to invest wisely and ultimately achieve economic growth.

The 7th season of the Today’s Money Caribbean Masters competition ended in July 2008.  Wade Mars emerged the winner last year, accumulating a total portfolio value of J$146,076.22 representing a gain of 46% on his initial portfolio value. This performance must be regarded as being commendable as both the Trinidad and Tobago and the Jamaica stock markets registered significant declines over this period.

The new season of The Today’s Money Caribbean Masters promises to be as exciting and informative as the previous competition.  For this round of “The Today’s Money Caribbean Masters” the participants are as follows:
