| In 1970, as Canada’s capital markets were flourishing and the financial sector's processing ability was nearing its capacity, CDS was formed. The company’s mandate was to leverage new technologies and automation to build a centralized depository service and create an electronic clearing and settlement system to handle the ever-increasing trading volumes on Canada’s exchanges and over-the-counter markets.
One of the world’s leading depositories grew from that mandate, and in addition to depository, clearing and settlement services, we now provide value-added regulatory and information products and services to Canada’s capital market participants. |
