Hmm.. looks like it is on the open market, which is specifically excluded. I think I may need to sell these if IEX doesn't get registered by the end of the year. Maybe I can generate similar exposure with options in my non-registered account, as I flat out can't buy the same amount of shares. This is not great...
Update on this - I spent a bunch of time on it and concluded that neither the IEX listing or the Frankfurt listing met the requirements, but that their options were listed on a registered exchange. (Thanks rb!) So I sold the shares and bought the same number of deep in the money calls in my rrsp. I should have saved the premiums (which weren't huge) because they have decided to move to Nasdaq, so I'd have been fine to hold the shares. I'll exercise the options prior to their expiry and keep my exposure.
I'm considering adding here, as I think IBKR has the lowest costs. That should mean lower commissions hurt them the least of all their competitors. In some ways, zero commissions might be a catalyst for people to look around, and those who do and are candidates for IB should be attracted to their other features (margin rates, for example)
