OSC approves MFDA rule amendments regarding client accounts and communication
The OSC has approved amendments to MFDA rules respecting client accounts, client communications and client reporting. The original proposals, which we noted in our post of May 2009 and will, among other things, require that investors are provided with certain information at the time of account opening, clarify the duty of MFDA Members and approved persons to assess the suitability of investments in client accounts when various triggering events occur and clarify Members' supervisory requirements regarding client communications that disclose a rate of return.
