Although the Canadian mutual fund industry is well regulated and the vast majority of advisers conduct themselves to the highest standards, if you have any concerns or are uncomfortable about any security you are being offered by an adviser, there are several measures you can take to protect yourself before you invest.

It is important to know that a registered adviser can only sell securities to the public through their registered dealer. This means that your adviser cannot offer you any investment products "on the side", as all securities must be sold through, and approved by, your adviser's dealer.

For more information and a list of all MFDA dealers, please visit their website www.mfda.ca. If you have a complaint, call the MFDA at 1-888-466-6332.
