Securities – CSA Staff Notice 81-325 Status Report on CSA Notice 81-324 and Request for Comment on Proposed CSA Mutual Fund Risk Classification Methodology for Use in Fund Facts

Securities – CSA Staff Notice 81-325 Status Report on CSA Notice 81-324 and Request for Comment on Proposed CSA Mutual Fund Risk Classification Methodology for Use in Fund Facts

January 29, 2015 - On December 12, 2013, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA or we) published CSA Notice 81-324 and Request for Comment Proposed CSA Mutual Fund Risk Classification Methodology for Use in Fund Facts (the Proposed Methodology) for a 90 day comment period (the Consultation).

The Proposed Methodology set out the framework and details of a methodology for the purpose of calculating and disclosing a fund’s volatility risk on the risk scale included in the Fund Facts document (Fund Facts) as required under Form 81-101F3 Contents of Fund Facts Document.

Currently, the Fund Facts requires the manager of a mutual fund to provide a risk rating for the mutual fund based on a risk classification methodology chosen at the manager’s discretion. One of the objectives of the Consultation was to seek feedback on the merits of introducing a standardized methodology to identify this risk rating. The CSA also sought feedback on using the Proposed Methodology for documents similar to the Fund Facts for other types of publicly offered investment funds, particularly exchange traded funds (ETFs).

This notice provides a summary of the key themes arising from the Proposed Methodology through the comment process and CSA next steps.
