Information processors

Information processors consolidate and disseminate order and trade information to provide investors and market participants with a single source of this information.

Under National Instrument 21-101 Marketplace Operation, marketplaces must provide order and trade information relating to exchange-traded securities to an information processor. In addition, marketplaces, dealers, and inter-dealer bond brokers must report trade information relating to government and corporate debt securities to an information processor.

There are currently two information processors designated by the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC):

  • Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization is the information processor for government and corporate debt securities (CIRO IP)
  • TMX is the information processor for exchange-traded securities (TMX IP)

CIRO IP (formerly IIROC IP)
