The Ontario Securities Commission has now approved new MFDA Rule 2.4.4 and amendments to MFDA Rule 5.1. As we discussed in November, Rule 2.4.4 requires MFDA members, prior to the acceptance of an order, to inform clients of sales and service charges, as well as any other fees to be deducted in respect of the proposed transaction. Meanwhile, amendments to Rule 5.1 require MFDA members to maintain evidence that clients were informed of such fees and charges.
