CANADIAN SECURITIES EXCHANGE WELCOMES BMO INVESTORLINE

The Canadian Securities Exchange has partnered with Bank of Montreal's BMO InvestorLine to offer its self-directed clients real-time quotes and direct on-line trading access to CSE-listed securities.

More than 280 companies are now listed on the CSE. These companies offer self-directed investors the opportunity to participate in growing and innovative businesses. Improving access to these investments is a key objective for the exchange.

"As one of Canada's largest on-line brokers, BMO InvestorLine is an extremely important part of the investment community," said Richard Carleton, chief executive officer of the CSE. "BMO InvestorLine's provision of CSE client on-line trading and market information services marks an important milestone in our efforts to increase visibility and access to the exchange. On behalf of our listed companies and their investors, we welcome BMO InvestorLine to the CSE."

"The capability to trade on the CSE provides a valuable opportunity for clients to invest in emerging Canadian companies," said Julie Barker-Merz, president, BMO InvestorLine. "This new partnership, coupled with the recent enhancements to our BMO Market Pro platform, is just another example of BMO InvestorLine's continuous commitment to enhancing the trading experience for our clients by providing Canadian investors with convenient access to a diverse range of investment choices."
