TAKES TWO TO TANGO: WHAT’S YOURS IS MINE? With the merger of IIROC and the MFDA at the beginning of 2023, investment and mutual fund advisors could face significant changes in how they will be regulated. As 2024 priorities are being set, let’s discuss the clear opportunities and benefits for advisors and distributors. The Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO) is a merged entity and also a brand-new organization – what makes us stronger together? In this panel you will hear about the early learnings since the merger and the open-ended questions and unknowns for the future. How will the establishment of CIRO impact compliance processes and advisor registration categories? Will investment advisors finally be able to direct commissions to their corporations? In this session, our panelists will discuss these and other major policy issues post-merger and their effect on the industry.
