“One of our top priorities is solving for the business needs of our clients,” said Luc Fortin, Global Head of Trading, TMX Group. “We are excited to embark on this next chapter of growth for TMX to build  upon.”

AlphaX US offers trading in all Regulation NMS common stock, exchange-traded funds and American depository receipts. The venue follows the U.S. equity market holiday calendar, and matches trades during regular U.S. market hours. AlphaX US allows order entry starting 60 minutes prior to the open and continuing throughout the trading day.
