Advisor Update

Our September 8 issue of the Advisor Update features the latest news on our Annual Report, as well as part two of our video series on market volatility.

Improving Self-Regulation for Canadians

The self-regulatory framework is evolving to meet the needs of Canadian investors. IIROC enthusiastically supports the Canadian Securities Administrators’ decision to create a new, single, enhanced pan-Canadian self-regulatory organization to better protect investors, increase access to advice and support innovation.

Industry-wide Business Continuity

Every two years, IIROC coordinates an industry business continuity test in accordance with section 12.4.1 of National Instrument 21-101 Marketplace Operation (NI 21-101). The next IIROC sponsored test is scheduled to take place later this year in October.
