GKCM ViewBuy
Best-in-class Caribbean infra credit for USD income seekers. The 6.60% coupon at a ~9–10yr duration is compelling versus JAMAN sovereign for credit-aware buyers willing to take concession-asset risk for incremental spread. We recommend pairing with JAMAN for a balanced Jamaica-exposure book.
