Understanding the Stock Market and its purpose – CBOE Canada Exchange

Submitted by nsscadmin on Wed, 08/21/2024 - 09:00

Our blog series on the stock market concludes this week with a look at one of the newest Canadian exchanges, the CBOE Canada Exchange.

The CBOE Canada Exchange launched as the Aequitas NEO Exchange in 2015. It later shortened its name to simply the NEO Exchange, and later rebranded to the CBOE Canada Exchange following its acquisition by CBOE Global Markets Network in 2022. It is described as an exchange for public companies, ETFs, Canadian depository receipts, SPACs, and closed-end funds.

When CBOE Canada first commenced trading on March 27, 2015 it initially traded 45 Toronto Stock Exchange listed securities. It reported its first listing in January, 2016 (Invesco PowerShares), and its first corporate issuer in December, 2017 (Cannabis Strategies Acquisition Corp.). According to its website, CBOE Canada has over 260 unique public listings and consistently represents close to 15% of all volume traded in Canadian-listed securities.
