Securities − CSA Notice 81-324 and Request for Comment Proposed CSA Mutual Fund Risk Classification Methodology for Use in Fund Facts

December 12, 2013 - The Canadian Securities Administrators (the CSA or We) are publishing for a 90 day comment period a CSA risk classification methodology for use by mutual fund managers in the Fund Facts document.

The CSA developed the Proposed Methodology in response to stakeholder feedback that the CSA has received throughout the implementation of the point of sale disclosure framework for mutual funds (the Framework), notably that a standardized risk classification methodology proposed by the CSA would be more useful to investors, as it would provide a consistent and comparable basis for measuring the risk of different mutual funds.

We expect that the Proposed Methodology could be used in documents similar to the Fund Facts as we move forward with summary disclosure documents for other types of publicly offered investment funds, particularly exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Comments due: March 14, 2014.

Securities - Notice of Implementation - Saskatchewan Equity Crowdfunding Exemption

December 6, 2013 - The Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority of Saskatchewan (FCAA) implemented General Order 45-925 Saskatchewan Equity Crowdfunding Exemption (GO 45-925) on December 6, 2013. The text of GO 45-925 and related forms can be found on the FCAA website at www.fcaa.gov.sk.ca

You can also find on the website information pieces for portals, businesses and investors. These documents are living documents. We welcome any comments on improvements we can make to them.

After informal consultation, GO 45-925 was published for a formal 30 day comment on October 7, 2013. We received submissions from 8 commentators. We would like to thank all those who participated in consultation on this exemption for their thoughtful input. Attached is Appendix A Summary of Comments and Responses.

Purpose

Crowdfunding is raising money from the public through an online funding portal. Essentially the business is raising capital from the crowd over the internet.

General Order 45-925 Saskatchewan Equity Crowdfunding Exemption (GO 45-925) is a waiver on certain conditions of the prospectus and registration requirements of The Securities Act, 1988(Saskatchewan) (the Act) for start-up and small businesses that allows them to raise capital through crowdfunding by selling their securities (shares, limited partnership units, promissory notes, etc.). It is designed to help start-up and small businesses raise capital in a simple efficient manner while at the same time maintaining an appropriate level of public protection.

Changes made to GI 45-925 as a result of the publication for comment

As a result of comments received we made the following material changes to GO 45-925:

We made it clear this exemption could be used concurrently with other exemptions in securities legislation
We made it clear that portals could charge for their services
We added a requirement that portals could not be related to businesses making offerings through them
We made it clear that funds being held in trust for investors pending the closing of an offering must be held by a lawyer.
