Mayberry invests in the next generation at UTech Orientation Week 2026

Mayberry Investments used the University of Technology, Jamaica’s orientation week to urge students to view investing as an attainable part of their financial future.

The company joined UTech’s Week of Welcome in Kingston on Aug. 26 and 27, speaking with incoming and returning students as well as lecturers. The university welcomed an estimated 1,000 to 1,500 new and transfer students across nine faculties and colleges, including business, health sciences, engineering and computing, law, education, science and sport, and medicine.

You have to invest in yourself, and invest in your wealth.

Brian Munroe, a senior relationship manager at Mayberry, delivered a presentation focused on financial literacy and common misconceptions about investing. “You have to invest in yourself, and invest in your wealth,” Munroe told students, adding that it was never too early to start investing. “Prioritising investing is the key tool that will expand your financial capabilities.”

Munroe also highlighted Mayberry’s new public bond, which requires a minimum investment of $20,000. The presentation framed that threshold as an opening for college students who might not previously have considered investing at this stage of life. Mayberry said the campus engagement aimed to build financial awareness, explain available options and establish relationships with potential clients early in their financial journeys.
