The Mutual Fund Dealers Association of Canada (the “MFDA”), is a self-regulatory organization that oversees Canadian mutual fund dealers, regulating the operations, standards of practice and business conduct of its members and their over 80,000 Approved Persons. While the MFDA’s regulatory mandate is to protect investors, we also support a regulatory compliant and diverse membership. Diversity benefits investors as it provides choices in advisory services and increases investor access to quality advice. We contribute to the financial well-being of Canadian investors and uphold public confidence in Canada’s mutual fund distribution industry.
