Participants, including Investment Dealers are currently not offered any enterprise savings opportunities on their Professional User fees in Canada.

This provides the very first opportunity for Investment Dealers to expand their cost savings potential to include all Professional users. The new license offers unlimited receipt of Nasdaq Basic Canada at a tiered rate.

What is being offered?

In response to customer requests, Nasdaq Canada will offer a Basic Canada Professional Enterprise License at a tiered rate ranging from $25,000-$60,000 per month. Tiers are determined by the number of Professional users within a firm that use Nasdaq Basic Canada Information.. The Enterprise License covers unlimited receipt for all Professional users. Please see the below pricing:

Number of Users Price/month CAD
Tier 1 0-1599 $25,000
Tier 2 1600-2999 $40,000
Tier 3 3000 and Above $60,000

How is this different from the current Nasdaq Basic Canada Enterprise License?

The current Nasdaq Basic Canada Enterprise License offers unlimited distribution of Nasdaq Basic Canada to non-professional and professional users with a customer relationship with an Investment Dealer. The Nasdaq Basic Canada Professional Enterprise License expands the scope of the audience to include receipt to all professionals, including Investment Advisors.
