Embark on your diversified asset journey from an exempt market trader

Expand your wealth boundaries and strengthen your asset allocation.

Exempted market products are another type of investment opportunity that differs from traditional open markets, and are suitable for qualified investors with certain experience and risk tolerance. Unlike common "open market" products such as stocks, mutual funds, or ETFs that can be traded directly on platforms like Wealthsimple, Questrade, or banking systems, exempt market products are typically not publicly issued, do not require a prospectus, have higher entry barriers, but also offer more potential returns.

Private placement/Pre IPO

Directly selling securities (such as stocks, bonds, or fund units) to specific investors without the need for a public fundraising process. Suitable for investors who wish to invest capital before the company goes public.

• Limited Partnerships

  Participate in specific projects such as land development, commercial real estate, etc. through limited partnership, share project profits, and assume limited liability.

• Venture Capital&Private Equity

  Concentrate capital investment in unlisted or start-up companies with high growth potential. Although the liquidity is low and the risk is high, there is still hope for significant returns.

• Hedge Funds

  Operate through strategies such as long short hedging and option trading to pursue returns beyond traditional markets. Usually only open to high net worth investors.

• Real Estate Mortgage Loan Investment Funds (MICs)

  MIC concentrates investor funds on issuing loans secured by real estate, and investors obtain stable returns by charging interest, making it suitable for investors who wish to indirectly participate in real estate.

• Alternative Investments

  Covering real estate co investment, commodity funds, renewable energy projects, etc., it has the advantages of risk diversification and breaking through traditional allocation restrictions, but usually comes with high uncertainty and low liquidity.

• Flow through Shares

  Mainly targeting the Canadian resource industry. Investors can receive tax exemptions (as the company transmits exploration and development expenses to investors), and if the project is successful, they can also share in the high capital appreciation.

nvestment exemption market products require sufficient risk awareness and professional judgment. It is recommended that investors conduct in-depth due diligence before making decisions to assess whether the product matches their financial goals and risk tolerance.

More importantly, it is necessary to have in-depth communication with registered financial advisors who are familiar with the exempt market, and make wise investment choices with the help of professional expertise.
