A new Canadian equity market has opened in Canada. Omega ATS is now available to TD Waterhouse
clients along with the Chi-X Canada, Alpha and Pure Trading markets. These Alternative Trading Systems (ATS) intend to improve the
competitiveness and market liquidity in Canadian capital
markets. What is an Alternative Trading System?In 2001, the Canadian Securities
Administrators (CSA) gave approval for new marketplaces in Canada
which provide alternative marketplaces for the trading of
securities. Why is TD Waterhouse participating in
Alternative Canadian Markets?TD Waterhouse
makes a continuous effort to provide clients with the best trade
execution for all equity trades. By participating in Alternative
Canadian Markets, clients are no longer limited to the Toronto
Stock Exchange (TSX) and the TSX Venture Exchange. What else should I know about Alternative Canadian
Markets?Clients do not have to choose a market when
entering their orders, as orders will automatically route to the
market that will provide best execution.
