New Issues

Be First to the Party.

Companies can choose to finance their operations through the issuance of equity or debt. Depending on the economic environment, the issuance of equity is often the preferred method of financing.

ScotiaCapital, the investment-banking arm of the Scotiabank group, often acts as a lead underwriter – or, alternatively, as a member in a syndicate of underwriters -- to help companies find the financing for their operations.
In the last few years, Scotia Capital has helped to underwrite equity financing for numerous blue-chip companies from a broad cross-section of industry sectors, including household names such as Tim Hortons, Yellow Pages Income Fund, Enbridge, Fortis, and Agnico-Eagle Mines.

Because of the special relationship that exists between ScotiaMcLeod and ScotiaCapital, our clients are able to access the many IPOs, private placements, and bought deals that are underwritten by ScotiaCapital each year. This is a service that is simply unavailable to clients of smaller firms and boutique brokerages.

As such, our clients are able to invest in securities before they are even listed on exchanges and eligible to be traded by the general public.
