Becoming a Registered Individual at an Investment Dealer

Our role is to protect investors and promote high industry standards, including by acting as a gatekeeper. 

In order to apply to New SRO, an individual must be sponsored by a New SRO -regulated Dealer Member. Dealer Members are encouraged to conduct due diligence on applicants, including by requesting a copy of their registration file from us.
