Their detailed analysis and innovative approach made them a clear winner of this prestigious award. “Nocturnal Trading” provides a comprehensive look at the rapidly growing market for overnight equity trading, exploring whether round-the-clock trading gives retail investors greater access and flexibility or exposes them to higher costs and greater risks. The research offers new insights into trading costs, market liquidity, price discovery and the roles of retail and professional investors in this emerging market. With overnight trading becoming increasingly accessible to Canadian investors through platforms offering 24/5 trading in U.S.-listed securities, the study provides valuable insights for investors, dealers and regulators as they consider the opportunities and challenges of extended trading hours.

“The emergence of nocturnal trading in US equities provides additional liquidity outside regular market hours. This winning paper shows that while overnight markets are thinner and heavily retail-driven, they can nevertheless contribute meaningfully to price discovery, and that competition among professional liquidity providers can materially improve market quality. These findings offer important insights into how round-the-clock equity markets may reshape liquidity, execution quality, and price discovery in modern equity markets,” said Chris Guthrie, President and CEO, Hillsdale Investment Management Inc.
