In 2011, the T&T Composite Index closed at a market capitalisation of $94.5B, the highest since 2007 as reflected in Exhibit 2.
Major Developments in the Stock Market In June 2011, the stock exchange adopted a new method for the determination of all closing stock prices, the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) method. This new system has resulted in higher volatility in prices given that a trade in any number of shares has the ability to move prices compared to the previous system whereby a minimum number of shares needed to be traded for each Company to create movement in prices. One of the major accomplishments of the capital market was the launch of the TTSEs US Dollar Securities Market in August 2011. This caters to the needs of companies wishing to list or raise USD and investors who are interested in investing US Dollar denominated securities on the local Exchange. Only US Dollar Securities which have been registered with the Trinidad and Tobago Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are eligible for listing on the TTSE. The market was opened with the listing of 120 million convertible redeemable preference shares issued by Sagicor Financial Corporation (SFC).
Another notable development in the market was the demerger of BCB Holdings Limited in October 2011. BCB Holdings Limited decided to reorganize the Company through a demerge of its Non-Belizean Business from its Belizean Business. It maintained the listing of the Belizean component on the local stock exchange.
