The organization sets regulatory and investment industry standards and has quasi-judicial powers in that it holds enforcement hearings and has the power to suspend, fine and expel members and registered representatives, such as advisors of broker dealers. It regulates all full service and discount broker-dealers in Canada. Accounts open with CIRO member firms are all covered by CIPF – The Canadian Investor Protection Fund.

Technology & Infrastructure

Integrated Platforms for Trading, Clearing & Custody

In order to ensure full transparency, we do not take possession of our clients’ funds. Rather, client funds will always remain in custody with one of our investment partner’s approved broker-dealer firms.

All partnering brokers are highly reputable firms with truly global reach and a prominent local presence who operate under strict regulatory regimes. All our Canadian custodians are CIRO member firms thus benefiting from full CIPF coverage.

Our clients’ accounts are open in their own names using the infrastructure of major global firms with a significant Canadian presence.
