SALES AND TRADING_
Executing ideas in the global marketplace

Our global team of sales and trading professionals adds value by independently assessing which investment ideas are right for each client. Our strengths include facilitating timely and efficient execution in high volume, large capitalization and emerging or illiquid companies – managing the impact of each transaction. As traders, we strive to be fast and effective in delivering results for our clients.

Canaccord Adams boasts sales and trading operations in London, Boston, New York, San Francisco, Toronto, Calgary, Montreal and Vancouver. We have developed a committed team of 90 sales and trading professionals, who are active on seven exchanges globally: the London Stock Exchange (LSE); AIM, a market operated by the LSE; the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX); the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V); the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE); the American Stock Exchange (AMEX); and the NASDAQ Stock Market (NASDAQ).

We succeed by providing quality ideas and demonstrating passion for our work. During fiscal 2006 our Canadian sales and trading operations experienced a near doubling of their market share from 1.2% to 2.0%, as well as significant revenue generation. We are the third largest trader of small-cap companies on the TSX by volume, and market makers in over 800 issuers globally. We demonstrate significant expertise in the small to mid-cap market and provide insight into real time developments in our seven focus sectors.
