The TSX/TSXV Listing Guide lists the Benefits of Listing as follows:

Benefits of Listing

Visibility

• On average, companies listed on TSX are covered by four analysts, whereas TSXV-listed companies are covered by one analyst
• Canadian companies that are inter or dual-listed on a U.S. exchange are covered by an average of nine analysts (more coverage than their counterparts that list only on a U.S. Exchange)

Index Eligibility

• Companies listed on TSX are eligible to be included in the S&P/TSX Composite Index and other S&P/TSX sector indices; TSXV listed companies are eligible to be included in the S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index
• According to Benefits Canada, almost one-third of Canadian pension fund assets invested in Canadian stocks are managed using index-based investing strategies, benefiting companies with increased visibility and improved investor awareness

Institutional Investment

• In addition to retail investors, a listing on TSX/TSXV can get an issuer noticed by the Canadian institutional investment community. Canadian portfolio managers funnel 70% of their money into Canadian assets

Market Support

• Canadian investors and analysts tend to be better-informed and risk tolerant, have lower turnover in their portfolios, and more likely to stick with Canadian investments for the longer term
