Trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX)
Buying and selling units of our ETFs is simple – as simple as buying or selling any stock listed on the TSX. Our ETFs trade and settle just like ordinary stocks throughout the TSX trading day and can be traded using all the techniques applicable to stocks, including market orders, limit orders, stop orders, short sales and margin buying. The majority of ETF trading takes place this way – with buyers and sellers interacting directly through an exchange.
Ready to buy:
– Investors can contact their stockbroker or financial advisor
– Trade through their self-directed account or discount brokerAs with any listed share, customary brokerage commissions and transaction fees may apply.
Direct from the Manager
Brokers and dealers who have entered into a designated broker and/or underwriter agreement with Global X Investments Canada Inc. (the “Manager” or “Global X”), subject to certain conditions outlined in the Prospectus, can subscribe for or redeem a prescribed number of units (PNUs) directly with the Manager.
Creation and Redemption of ETF Units
Investors do not purchase and redeem ETF units directly with the investment manager in the same way as they do with traditional mutual funds. ETFs are designed to minimize portfolio turnover and related transaction costs, and they do this by restricting the direct creation and redemption of units to large investors, typically banks or brokers known as “Authorised Participants”, and market makers. These institutions can create and redeem ETF units in line with the daily demand for units, helping the ETFs to trade with maximum liquidity. Brokers, dealers and investors, subject to certain conditions outlined in the Prospectus, can redeem a PNU.
Distribution Reinvestment Plan Participation (DRIP)
DRIP is an investment strategy whereby investors who participate in the plan reinvest their cash dividends and buy additional units instead of receiving a cash payment. DRIPs are intended for long-term investors. In general, DRIPs are ideal for investors looking to help build their units over time in a more cost-effective manner. Plus, there are no costs to enroll and there are no commissions on any of your purchases.
