MFDA proposes amendments to Rules resulting from registration reform
On December 23, the Mutual Fund Dealers Association of Canada (MFDA) published proposed consequential amendments to its rules intended to ensure consistency with the new registration regime under National Instrument 31-103 Registration Requirements and Exemptions. Specifically, the amendments would impact the rules respecting proficiency requirements, referral arrangements, standards of supervision, client reporting and record retention. Meanwhile, MDFA Policy No. 6 Information Reporting Requirements would also be amended.
Comments on the proposals are being accepted until March 23, 2010.
