TSX Datalinx, the market data division of TMX Group Inc., today unveiled the Insider Trade Marker Report. This product provides a daily summary of insider (including significant shareholders) buying and selling activities on Toronto Stock Exchange and TSX Venture Exchange. This information is based on a trade "marker" provided by brokers at the time a company insider either buys or sells a security.
"We are the first North American exchange to offer this product," said Eric Sinclair, Senior Vice-President, TSX Datalinx. "We see this product as a catalyst to good corporate governance by providing investors with greater transparency with access to this information through our many distribution channels, including TMXmoney.com"
This product provides broad dissemination of this information for the first time. It could be seen as a unique market look – providing information that could influence trading decisions or act as a warning sign to investors.
The product will also substantially speed up the timeliness of insider trading information. Currently Canadian insider trading information is available up to 10 calendar days after the transaction, as trades are reported through the System for Electronic Disclosure by Insiders (SEDI).
