It is hard to imagine with today\u2019s online trading platform, but in 1990 we traded our first stocks, using the Open Outcry system.<\/p>\n<p>At MVL we do one thing, and we do it well. We serve our clients who are taking positions in securities\u2019 markets. On our clients\u2019 behalf, we execute, buy and sell orders for stocks and other securities principally through the Jamaica Stock Exchange, as well as over the counter. Our principals can call upon decades of experience in investments and finance to ensure that we get it right.<\/p>\n<p>From those early beginnings to today\u2019s electronic trading, MVL has always been a stockbroker putting its clients first, ensuring that they win the investment race!<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;71436&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;container&#8221; padding_top=&#8221;&#8221; padding_bottom=&#8221;&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1444733707806{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 15px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_separator color=&#8221;#e2e2e2&#8243; type=&#8221;normal&#8221; thickness=&#8221;1&#8243; up=&#8221;&#8221; down=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;container&#8221; padding_top=&#8221;&#8221; padding_bottom=&#8221;&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1445611293527{margin-bottom: 35px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1569541073085{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Our Directors<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;A good board is a balanced team with complementary skill sets and a culture that allows them to work together to make the most effective decisions for an organisation.&#8221; <\/em><strong>Institute of Directors<\/strong><em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;container&#8221; padding_top=&#8221;&#8221; padding_bottom=&#8221;&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1510321596043{margin-bottom: 25px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1445098522820{margin-bottom: 35px !important;}&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;71440&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;bottom-to-top&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1569539367909{margin-bottom: -10px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Derrick McKoy, CD LLB LLM PhD MBA DBA MCIArb FAIADR Attorney-at-Law<\/h4>\n<h6 style=\"margin-top: -10px; margin-bottom: 12px;\"><span style=\"color: #999999;\">Board Member<\/span><\/h6>\n<p>Derrick has worked as a Litigator, University teacher and Legal Consultant.
