March 03, 2026: In a special presentation held on Tuesday, March 03, at the Unit Trust Corporation (UTC) Head Office in Port of Spain, the Corporation officially recognized the exceptional talent of Angelo Gore and Jayden Benjamin by enrolling them in the Children’s Investment Starter Plan (CISP) with an initial investment of $2,000 each. CISP is a UTC investment product designed to support the long-term financial stability of children and can be initiated by any adult on behalf of a child.
The two young performers recently gained national attention after their electrifying stage appearance with Machel Montano at his 2026 Monday Madness Carnival Fete.
Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, Deyson Scott, highlighted the importance of the CISP for the young achievers, “At UTC, we believe that talent should be celebrated not just in the moment, but also secured for the future. Through the Children’s Investment Starter Plan, we are offering Angelo and Jayden more opportunities to begin their own financial journey. As their creative ambitions grow, this investment will serve as a foundation for their future success.”
The young stars were thrilled by the gesture. “Performing with Machel was the best day ever, as I want to be a soca artiste when I grow up! So, I feel grateful to have my own investment and I can use to buy equipment for me to sing,” said 8-year-old Angelo Gore. 14-year-old Jayden Benjamin added, “I want to keep practicing my music. So, I’m happy UTC gave me this gift so I can start investing my money in my education and my music.”
The Unit Trust Corporation remains dedicated to nurturing the potential of the next generation. In line with this commitment, alternative investing opportunities will also be extended to Coryn Clarke, who currently resides in St. Kitts and Nevis, through the Corporation’s regional fund, UTC Global Balanced Fund Limited.
