  • Canadian securities regulators issue statements on proposed sustainability disclosure standards and ongoing climate consultation
    by FCNB on 13 March 2024 at 14:29

    CALGARY and TORONTO – The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) today welcome the launch of the Canadian Sustainability Standards Board’s (CSSB) consultation on Canadian Sustainability Disclosure Standards 1 and 2.  “We are pleased to see publication of the CSSB’s consultation on its first set of standards,” said Stan Magidson, CSA Chair and Chair and CEO of the Alberta Securities Commission. “We’re interested in the feedback the CSSB receives generally and specific to certain questions, as it may help inform revisions to our proposed climate-related disclosure rule. We strongly encourage interested and affected parties to share their views on the proposed CSSB standards.” In order to become mandatory under Canadian securities legislation, the CSSB standards must first be incorporated into a CSA rule. Once the CSSB consultation is complete and its standards are finalized, the CSA anticipates seeking comment on a revised rule setting out climate-related disclosure requirements. The CSA proposal will consider the final CSSB standards and may include modifications appropriate for the Canadian capital markets. The CSA anticipates adopting only those provisions of the sustainability standards that are necessary to support climate-related disclosures.  The CSA continues to monitor and assess international developments in this area, including the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)'s climate-related disclosures rule approved on March 6, 2024. As noted in previous market updates, the CSA remains committed to working towards disclosure requirements that support the assessment of material climate-related risks, reduce market fragmentation, and contribute to efficient capital markets while considering the needs and capabilities of issuers of different sizes. When the CSA publishes its revised rule, it will seek public comments on a number of matters, including the scope of application and the need for additional time and/or guidance for reporting issuers to comply with certain disclosure requirements.  The CSA, the council of the securities regulators of Canada’s provinces and territories, coordinates and harmonizes regulation for the Canadian capital markets.   For investor inquiries, please contact your local securities regulator.

  • Canadians urged to remain vigilant in the face of rising investment fraud
    by FCNB on 7 March 2024 at 18:09

    Calgary – To mark Fraud Prevention Month, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) is reminding Canadians to remain vigilant about potential investment scams and misleading advice. While online financial advice is readily available, the CSA encourages investors to verify information sources and work with registered professionals to reduce the risk of becoming victims of fraud.  “Investment fraud is prevalent and increasingly sophisticated, affecting investors across the country,” said Stan Magidson, CSA Chair and Chair and CEO of the Alberta Securities Commission. “It's more crucial than ever for people to safeguard their financial interests by learning more about current scams, and verifying sources of investment information.” Although social media platforms, apps and websites have become a popular source of investing information, Canadians should recognize that not all information is provided by qualified or well-intentioned individuals. To help protect investors from fraud, the CSA encourages Canadians to:  Verify information sources: Don't rely solely on online content or influencers that promote investment advice. When uncertain about the quality of an information source, consult a qualified and registered investment advisor or financial professional. Work with registered professionals and firms: Ensure that individuals involved in securities trading or advising are registered with a Canadian securities regulator. Use the CSA’s National Registration Search to confirm the credentials of any potential advisor or service provider. For crypto investments, opt for registered crypto trading platforms (CTPs): Canadians interested in crypto asset transactions should exclusively use platforms registered with Canadian securities regulators. Non-compliant platforms are more likely to pose risks or lack necessary investor protections. It's crucial to recognize that crypto investments entail high risks. Educate yourself about these risks before committing funds. Be wary of these common scam tactics:  Guaranteed and/or high profits: Many fraudulent pitches promise high returns or guaranteed profits, showing examples of high account balances or affluent lifestyles to reinforce their pitch. In reality, all investments come with some level of risk, and if it sounds too good to be true, it likely is. No risk and urgent action: Scammers often rely on messaging that pushes quick action, while promising little to no risk. These tactics encourage investors to move quickly, without taking the time to check the information or the source. These scams often have “once in a lifetime” messaging.   Requiring access to electronic devices: Scammers will often ask for direct access to your electronic devices, such as your phone, laptop or tablet. Never provide access to your electronic devices. Loss recovery: Once an individual has become a victim of a scam, scammers will re-target them with false promises to get lost money back, which often results in additional financial loss.  Canadians should fully understand what they are investing in and the risks involved prior to investing. For more information about investing, and how to protect yourself from fraud, visit the CSA’s Investor Tools webpages.  To shed light on the proliferation of inaccurate, misleading or fraudulent investment advice on social media, the CSA re-launched its “Human Disclaimers” campaign for Fraud Prevention Month. These videos feature people acting as “human disclaimers” who question common “get rich quick” social posts and encourage Canadians to check their information sources and do proper research before investing. ### The CSA has investor tools and resources available at https://www.securities-administrators.ca designed to help Canadians be informed investors. Investors can stay informed of the latest investor tips, news and developments by following @CSA_News on Twitter and @CSA.ACVM on Facebook.  The CSA, the council of the securities regulators of Canada’s provinces and territories, co-ordinates and harmonizes regulation for the Canadian capital markets.  For media inquiries, please contact: Ilana Kelemen Canadian Securities Administrators media@acvm-csa.ca

  • Canadian securities regulators publish updated guidance on ESG-related investment fund disclosure
    by FCNB on 7 March 2024 at 15:43

    Toronto – The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) today published updated guidance for investment funds on disclosure practices as they relate to environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters. The revised notice does not change the guidance that was published in January 2022. It addresses matters that were not covered in the original notice and reflects developments and issues that have arisen since. The update also includes guidance addressing different levels of disclosure expectations for funds whose investment objectives do not reference ESG factors but that use ESG strategies. Generally, the guidance sets out different levels of disclosure expectations depending on the extent to which ESG factors are considered in a fund’s investment process. The guidance remains based on existing regulatory requirements and addresses various areas of disclosure, including investment objectives, fund names, investment strategies, risk disclosure, continuous disclosure and sales communications. The guidance also covers the types of investment funds that may market themselves as focusing on ESG or as considering ESG factors as part of their investment process. “Amid sustained public interest in ESG investing and the potential for greenwashing, the CSA’s updated guidance is aimed at bringing greater clarity and consistency to ESG-related fund disclosure and sales communications, which will ultimately help investors make more informed investment decisions,” said Stan Magidson, CSA Chair and Chair and CEO of the Alberta Securities Commission. “We will continue to monitor developments involving ESG-related funds going forward.”  CSA Staff Notice 81-334 ESG-Related Investment Fund Disclosure (Revised) also summarizes the results from the ESG-focused reviews of prospectuses, sales communications, and continuous disclosure that have been conducted by CSA staff since the January 2022 publication. The CSA, the council of the securities regulators of Canada’s provinces and territories, co- ordinates and harmonizes regulation for the Canadian capital markets.
