MFDA outlines changes to Rules and Member practices due to registration reform
Earlier this month, the Mutual Fund Dealers Association of Canada published a bulletin advising its Members of expected changes to its rules and Member practices due to the implementation of National Instrument 31-103 Registration Requirements and Exemptions. The bulletin specifically considers changes to proficiency requirements and categories of registration, new client mobility provisions, the harmonization of requirements for referral arrangements and changes to the frequency and content of account statements. A second bulletin, published a few days after the first, clarified record-keeping requirements for branch managers.
