Trade up with CIBC

Formally speaking, “best execution” means obtaining the most advantageous execution terms reasonably available under the circumstances². Every Canadian discount or full-service brokerage is obliged to provide the “best execution” possible for your trades. But some firms are able to go above and beyond and expand on what’s possible — CIBC Investor’s Edge can deliver on that mandate. CIBC Capital Markets is the leader in Canadian equity trading — and calling them the leader is not just marketing fluff. Since 2009, CIBC Capital Markets stands as the number 1 ranked for volume, trade value and number of trades in the Canadian stock market.

Why should you care? For CIBC Investor’s Edge clients, this means that your Canadian equity trades benefit from the increased opportunity to fill more quickly, and at a price that can be better than the quoted market price. While it’s easy to imagine how this benefits frequent traders and investors with larger orders, smaller orders receive the same advantages and market edge. We execute all orders this way because we believe that democratic access to advanced trading technology should be available to all Canadians. Every dollar counts for all clients, but this might be even more important for investors trading less often or with smaller size.

CIBC Capital Markets traders draw on decades of market experience. The systems they’ve designed to execute stock orders continuously learn from market experience and adjust to trading conditions in real time. Their trade execution software also employs anti-gaming logic, meaning it’s on the alert to reduce the risk that your order becomes a pawn in another trader’s game plan.

With a CIBC Investor’s Edge account, you set your objectives, do the research and plan your trade. When your order goes to market, CIBC Capital Markets joins the picture and uses its expertise to help you meet your goals.
