  • A Message from Your Relationship Manager
    FEBRUARY 12, 2014 Leading the World in Mining Financing In a year of challenging conditions for the mining sector, it was reassuring to see that there was still a significant amount of financing activity – deals large and small – in 2013. On Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV), almost $7 billion in equity capital was raised last year; substantially more than any other public equities markets worldwide. Ranked first in the world in 2013 by the total number of listed mining companies and the number of new listings*, the Exchanges provide global mining companies with enhanced visibility and reach in a competitive global environment. More than 500 global analysts cover TSX- and TSXV-listed mining companies and it is estimated that over 40% of all trading on the Exchanges originates outside of Canada. There is no question that some companies continue to grapple with market factors that make it difficult to access capital to operate and expand their businesses, and it can be especially difficult for companies at earlier stages of growth. The Exchanges are sensitive to these conditions and are responding with measures and advocacy work that could make it easier for mining companies to raise capital. Click here to learn more about the steps TSXV is taking to help earlier-stage mining companies raise capital on several fronts, including amendments to minimum pricing rules and capital structure requirements. TSX and TSXV are also supportive of proposed prospectus exemptions and other measures which are meant to help support Canada’s equities markets and benefit listed companies and their investors.

  • Tmx Group History at a Glance
    TMX GROUP HISTORY AT A GLANCE The following is a timeline of significant events in the organization’s history. 1852 A group of Toronto businessmen met on October 24, 1852 with the intention of forming an "Association of Brokers". The association created that day established the framework for Toronto Stock Exchange. Although they may have traded in shares that were available at that time, no official records remain of the groups' transactions. 1861 A resolution was passed by the association to formally create Toronto Stock Exchange. In its early years, Toronto Stock Exchange trading volume was very modest, amounting to two or three transactions daily. Trading hours were limited to daily half-hour sessions and the trading list consisted of 18 securities. The cost of membership was $5.00. 1871 Toronto Stock Exchange had 14 member firms -- each paid $250 to purchase a seat. 1878 Toronto Stock Exchange became formally incorporated by an Act of the Ontario Legislature. Toronto Stock Exchange moved into its first permanent headquarters at 24 King Street East in Toronto. 1901 The price of a Toronto Stock Exchange seat or membership rose to $12,000. Trading volume approached 1 million shares per year and 100 companies were listed. The Exchange moved to 20 King Street East and continuous auction trading was introduced. 1913 -Page 1- The Exchange built and moved into its own building on Bay Street. Technological advances lead to the introduction of the first print-out-ticker which carried a series of trading prices as well as bid and ask offering quotations. 1914 The fear of financial panic when World War 1 was declared prompted Toronto Stock Exchange to cease operations for three months, beginning July 28, 1914.

Unofficial stock markets existed across Europe through the 1600s, where brokers would meet outside or in coffee houses to make trades ). The Amsterdam Stock Exchange, created in 1602, became the first official stock exchange when it began trading shares of the Dutch East India Company. These were the first company shares ever issued. By the early 1700s there were fully operational stock exchanges in France and England and America followed in the later part of the century.
