TradeFreedom Securities Partners with the Montreal Exchange and Barclays Canada to Provide Live Online Web Seminars.

MONTREAL -- TradeFreedom Securities Inc. has partnered with the Montreal Exchange and Barclays Global Investors Canada Limited (Barclays Canada) to meet growing demand and provide educational online web seminars to customers interested in trading in options and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

"We continue to see increasing interest from our active customers in trading options and ETFs and we are committed to being a leader in providing customers with innovative and accessible education and training resources to help them become better investors", says Bruce Seago, President of TradeFreedom Securities Inc. TradeFreedom also provides customers with personal and interactive live online seminars on a wide range of other relevant topics including technical analysis, futures trading and foreign exchange trading.

Barclays Canada manages the iUnits ETFs, a family of 16 different funds which trade, just like stocks, on the Toronto Stock Exchange. For retail investors, ETFs are quickly growing as an alternative to traditional mutual funds, providing investors with diversification, sector exposure, tax efficiency and lower management expense ratios.

"We are pleased to have partnered with TradeFreedom in bringing real-time education and awareness to the marketplace. As the investing landscape continues to grow and expand, including the rising popularity in ETFs, the need for a steady flow of information is required. Based upon our own experience, providing instant and interactive access to valuable content is an effective way to reach investors", says Grahame Lyons, Business Development Officer, Barclays Canada.

In addition, the Montreal Exchange, which specializes in the financial derivatives market, including options, has been promoting education as a means to help retail investors better understand the concepts underlying options investing and the risks and advantages of using options as part of an investment strategy. Options investing can provide investors with a wider variety of investing alternatives, from the most conservative to the more speculative, and give investors better control over the performance of their portfolio and the related risks.

"Retails investors are more likely to diversify their portfolio as they become more aware and confident of how to invest in products such as futures and options. What makes our partnership with TradeFreedom so mutually beneficial is the fact that they cater to active online investors who are seeking new opportunities", says Gilbert de Moscovaki, Business Development Representative of the Montreal Exchange.

TradeFreedom provides online seminars twice daily, which require broadband access to the Internet to participate. Live interactive presentations include education on basic and advanced technical analysis, options, futures and forex trading and investing.
