Who Should List on OTCQX

Many U.S. companies list on OTCQX as the final step toward a NASDAQ or NYSE listing. Others enjoy the efficient compliance-driven and cost-effective model it offers their investors outside of a traditional exchange listing. For companies moving off a U.S. exchange, OTCQX is the ideal home, providing most of the services the company and their investors have come to expect from a listed market.

The Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) has recognized and acknowledged the problems of the OTC market for years, but with over 9,300 OTCBB and Pink Sheet traded companies, it has, quite simply, been underpowered to fully address these issues to the level that it requires. Resurgence is happening with the SEC recently cracking down hard on unethical promoters and companies with this trend fully expected to continue. Aiding in this effort to create more transparency, the OTCQX has been gaining popularity as its primary goal is to provide a premiere platform of information for investors based on the company’s compliance to meet a higher set of standards.

Why Investors Prefer OTCQX
