Canada’s securities regulators are considering several proposals that fundamentally transform dispute resolution for Canadian investors. These include:

  • Binding authority for the Ombudsman for Banking Services and Investments (OBSI)
  • ‘Modernizing’ the CIRO arbitration program.
  • Distributing funds ordered disgorged to harmed investors.

The way investor disputes are resolved has real implications for both wealth business models and investors.

This panel will explore:

  • Real world impacts for wealth business and investors.
  • Canada’s approach relative to other countries.
  • Fairness principles.
  • The role of regulators … and lawyers.

This session is valuable for those who service investors in Canada and for those who work to resolve their disputes.
