Since January 2000 The Jamaica Stock Exchange has had an automated trading platform, complementing the Jamaica Central Securities Depository which faciliates the automation of the Exchange’s back office operations. A General Manager is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Exchange.

The JSE operates a Compensation Fund which was established to indemnify losses to Broker-members' clients in certain situations. Contributions are made by Broker-members based on the consideration for equity and preferred transactions. In order to provide further protection to the investing public, the Exchange can intervene and run and/or wind-up the affairs of a Broker-member in certain situations where clients' interest are in jeopardy.
