Waverley’s Ascent: Canada’s Top EMD by Transaction Volume

Waverley Corporate Financial Services has cemented its position as a leader in Canada’s exempt market, achieving top status as the number one Exempt Market Dealer (EMD) based on the volume of transactions completed. This success is not just about numbers but a testament to Waverley’s unwavering commitment to delivering results for issuers, dealers, and investors.

Despite a challenging market environment with rising interest rates and increased volatility, Waverley’s innovative approach, robust platform, and compliance-driven solutions have enabled it to stand out in a highly competitive space. Their proprietary models, the Waverley Model and Capital Acceleration Model, are designed to streamline capital-raising efforts for smaller issuers and investment bankers, making Waverley the go-to partner for businesses seeking to grow in a time-efficient and cost-effective manner.

This focus on efficiency and value is reflected in their broader achievements. Not only is Waverley ranked number one in Canada by transaction volume, but it also holds the number two spot for fees generated, showcasing its ability to deliver on complex projects and high-value deals.

The foundation of this success is Waverley’s ability to connect issuers to a national network of institutional and high-net-worth relationships, going beyond local markets to offer broader access and quicker closings.
