SLCG Study on Competitiveness of Canadian Market for Securities

Investment Industry Association of Canada Releases SLCG Study on Competitiveness of Canadian Market for Securities Data

SLCG was recently hired by the Investment Industry Association of Canada (IIAC) to investigate and write a report about the competitiveness in the market for securities data in Canada.

Canadian securities data costs have more than doubled since the mid-1990s. The IIAC alleged that these costs increases were not due to any improvement in technology or quality. SLCG investigated this market and analyzed the cost structure for data, comparing the Canadian market to other similar markets around the world.

For more information, see press coverage of the release of SLCG's expert report in the Financial Post article and the Globe and Mail article.
