Our Priorities

TMX Group has a comprehensive strategy that is guiding our business activities. Our strategy is to expand our integrated business, both domestically and internationally, by offering innovative cash and derivatives products across multiple asset classes.

Our continuing priorities are to Integrate, Enhance and Innovate. We are continuing to integrate the Montreal Exchange and its derivatives business with the rest of TMX Group and its cash markets. We will continue to strengthen and enhance our current product and services offering to compete for increased market share in cash, derivatives and energy markets. We plan to innovate by introducing new, customer-focused products, services and solutions to our marketplaces.
