TD Waterhouse Canada has launched a comprehensive online markets and research site, free of charge for all TD Waterhouse clients.

“We are thrilled to be the first to offer our clients entirely free access to this calibre of research and information,” said John See, vice chair, TD Waterhouse Group Inc.

“This move reinforces our strategy to deliver the best value proposition in the industry, and empower our clients with innovative tools to make their investment decisions.”

TD Waterhouse clients now have exclusive access to proprietary research from TD Securities and TD Newcrest that includes morning market institutional calls, company reports and industry reports. Other exclusive research is provided by Standard and Poor’s and includes a regular weekly report on the latest market commentary, and recommended stocks from S&P’s analysts.

The research offering is available via the new version of WebBroker, TD Waterhouse’s online service. “WebBroker now delivers comprehensive information to clients in one easy-to-use screen — from quotes and charts, to client communications, to account information,” said David Sypher, senior vice president, Direct Channels. “We’ve also simplified our navigation so that clients can transact or access tools and research within one or two clicks, enabling a quicker, more convenient online process for transactions.”
