What is the TSXV?
The TSX Venture Exchange is TMX Group’s Canadian exchange for emerging companies. It is distinct from the Toronto Stock Exchange, or TSX.
What is the CSE?
The Canadian Securities Exchange is a Canadian stock exchange with a mining sector that includes mineral exploration and development companies. It is separate from the TSXV. Check the company’s official listing page to identify its trading symbol and disclosure documents.
What does OTC mean?
OTC means over-the-counter. OTC Markets Group operates US markets on which domestic and international securities are quoted. Its market categories and reporting standards differ. An OTC quotation is not the same as a listing on a US national securities exchange.
Why more than one ticker?
A company can have a Canadian listing and a US OTC quotation. Identify the issuer and security type behind each symbol rather than assuming that a different code means a different company.
A useful starting point
Use the issuer’s investor page and official market information together. Ask your broker about access to the specific security and market, trading currency, fees and settlement. General US share access does not establish access to every OTC security.
