Move increases visibility and investor access for Canadian National Stock Exchange issuers
TORONTO – December 5, 2013 – CNSX Markets Inc., operator of the Canadian National Stock Exchange (“CNSX”) and Pure Trading, today announced the successful completion of its “Project One” initiative. As a result of this effort, CNSX-listed symbols and stocks listed on other Canadian exchanges are now being traded on a single system at the exchange. The move has a number of benefits for CNSX issuers, dealers and investors:
Richard Carleton, CEO of CNSX Markets Inc. explained “the number of trading venues in Canada continues to proliferate, leading to increases in technical and compliance costs for dealers, and investor confusion. With a focus on lowering the cost of capital for entrepreneurs, we have chosen a different path. By eliminating one of the trading environments operated by the exchange, we are reducing dealer costs and working to increase the visibility of our single platform. Market data services and fees are also being streamlined effective January 1, 2014. With this project successfully achieved we will complete efforts with the trading community to reduce execution costs for dealers while introducing features designed to improve liquidity for investors.”
