Title: Canadian Junior Public Markets Health Check: Surprising Resilience Thus Far, Some Concerns Looking Forward
Abstract:This paper conducts a health check on the Canadian junior public markets. Surprisingly, the
evidence demonstrates that the junior markets have proved resilient in the face of headwinds and
the total number of listed operating companies on the junior stock exchanges in Canada has not
followed the declining trendline of the senior markets. The makeup of issuers listed on Canadian
junior public markets has evolved materially over the past 15 years; as the market has fragmented,
new competitors have taken market share from the incumbent TSX Venture Exchange.
