Background: Why CIPF Gets Information
CIPF has no government backstop
Membership is a “credit ring” where each Member is responsible to “pay-up” if another Member fails

Background: Why CIPF Gets Information (cont’d)
Historically:
5 Self-Regulatory Organizations with Members participating in CIPF
Each had own rule-book, examination program, etc.
CIPF acted as “quality control” to ensure each SRO implemented consistent rules and met same standard of care in examinations
Now only one SRO, IIROC, but have continued right to receive information so as to mitigate risk

Example Of What We Use Information For
CIPF is pre-funded
How big should the Fund be?
Fund Size Model - theoretical size of the Fund is the sum of the amount of capital needed for the default of each Member…
Amount of capital is based on the Member’s probability of default and the loss to CIPF if it defaults…
Loss to CIPF if it defaults is based on its customer asset base

Investor Education
CSA has broader mandate on assisting investors to make safe sound investment decisions
Quote from CSA Web site
“But the CSA's impact on most Canadians comes through its efforts to help educate Canadians about the securities industry, the stock markets and how to protect investors from investment scams.The CSA provides a wide variety of educational materials on securities and investing. It has produced brochures and booklets explaining various topics such as how to choose a financial adviser, mutual funds, and investing via the internet. All CSA materials are available through your local securities regulator”
