Hi,
Does anyone know of any way to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange from the UK? Does anyone's broker have access to stocks like Cult Food Science (CNSX:CULT) for example? I can get shares on TSX via one of my brokers but can't find a way to buy that specific security.
Cheers
Just an IT professional trying to make a decent return on whatever money I can get together.
I think IBKR trades on Canadian markets. Worth a try and their dealing costs are very low, also they do ISAs.
Looks like there maybe some restrictions on small caps.
I have managed to purchase Constellation software on Interactive investor. You have to fill out a tax form prior to investing though.
I own Canadian companies via Hargreaves Lansdown and also via IBKR (Interactive Brokers).
Note that IBKR is probably not well suited for most retail investors. Also, for example, Canadian Withholding tax needs to be manually calculated on the IBKR platform if you are filing a UK tax return (not the case with the standard retail platforms such as Hargreaves Lansdown - it is automatically generated). So if you have many foreign holdings (i.e. in multiple tax jurisdictions) then this becomes a non-trivial task, it takes me about 1.5 hours once a year.
