Richard Nadeau, Senior Vice President, Toronto Stock Exchange, leads a business development delegation to China May 13-19, 2008. “We continue to see great opportunities in China,” said Mr. Nadeau. “These visits put us face to face with many potential issuers. We have more than 50 Chinese and Chinese related companies listed on our exchanges and trips like this will help us grow that list with quality companies that see the benefit of listing on Canadian markets. We will also take advantage of our visit in China to further expand our relationships with local professionals and senior representatives from the various Chinese government offices.”
The purpose of this visit is to continue to build on the momentum from previous trips and further promote Canada as a strong player and destination marketplace in the international capital markets arena. TSX Group’s exchanges are 7th largest in the world based on market capitalization data compiled by the World Federation of Exchanges. According to Mr. Nadeau, “TSX Group is the gateway to North American liquidity for small and medium enterprises in addition to being the world’s leading resources marketplaces with more mining and energy listings than any other exchange group”.
Joining Mr. Nadeau on this trip is Annie Lin Tao, Manager Business Development, and who is exclusively dedicated to TSX’s Asian Business Development initiatives.
The TSX road show will take place between May 13-19 with seminars on Canadian Capital Markets in Nanjing, Beijing, and Shenzhen.
