TSX and TSXV Fee Changes for Securities trading under $1
TMX Equities would like to announce the following fee changes on the 兔子先生 ("TSX") and TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"), effective April 1, 2022. The fee changes are applicable to post-open continuous trades under $1 on TSX and TSXV, and odd lot trades under $1 on TSXV only. TSX has received regulatory approval for the fee changes, and the TSXV fee changes are subject to regulatory approval.
These changes are intended to harmonize fees on trades under $1 within TSX and TSXV, and stay competitive within the Canadian market. This change will: simplify the fee schedule whereby all trades under $1 will be charged the same fee; reduce passive fees to $0 for trades under $1; and introduce a discounted rate for retail participants. The updated fee schedules can be found here for TSX and TSXV.
