Finding

The Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization is Canada's national self regulatory body for investment dealers, recognised by the provincial securities commissions and formed in 2023 from IIROC and the MFDA. Dealer membership plus provincial registration is the authorisation, so there is no separate numbered certificate. Ventum's registration is identified by National Registration Database number 5290, and it is registered as an investment dealer in every province and territory, as a futures commission merchant in Ontario and Manitoba, and as a derivatives dealer in Quebec. Client protection: Strong. Client asset segregation, capital and supervision rules, mandatory complaint handling with external escalation, and Canadian Investor Protection Fund coverage up to CAD 1 million per general account category if the dealer fails.. Effective: 24 Jun 2024.
