Do You Know The Background Of The Toronto Stock Exchange?

The Toronto Stock Exchange provides a liquid market for senior equities. Listed issuers on the senior exchange represent a broad range of businesses from across Canada, the United States and other countries.

It has offices in Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto and Montreal which enables it to offer a range of services across the country. Toronto has the third largest exchange in North America.

The company owns and operates Canada's two national stock exchanges - Toronto Stock Exchange serving the senior equity market, and TSX Venture Exchange serving the public venture equity market.

It also owns the Natural Gas Exchange (NGX), a leading North American exchange for the trading and clearing of natural gas and electricity contracts.

It is believed that the TSX grew from an 'Association of Brokers' formed by Toronto businessmen on July 26, 1852. However, no official records remain of this group's transactions.

On October 25, 1861, twenty-four men gathered at the Masonic Hall to officially create the Toronto Stock Exchange, which then became formally incorporated by an Act of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in 1878.
