Investing in North American stocks just got easier

Investors can trade in North American equities from here in Australia more easily than ever before.

There are new platforms being developed to streamline processes and make investment simpler for fund managers.

One of these is by global investment bank, Canaccord Genuity. Canaccord has a dedicated offshore sales team platforming North American equities to Australian Institutional clients, with team members including Kasey Connick based in Sydney, and Matthew Smith in Toronto, providing 24-hour coverage.

It means Canaccord can connect Australian fund managers with their Toronto-based trading team for direct market access during the North American trading session.

And Canaccord’s worked with Iress (ASX:IRE) to streamline the order-placing process through Iress’s global fix hub.
