The CSA is publishing a notice summarizing the findings of a sample-based review of Canadian hedge funds conducted by CSA staff in response to increased retail interest in hedge funds. From the review, the CSA determined that an appropriate securities regulatory framework exists for hedge funds in Canada, but certain areas can be improved, specifically relating to principal protected notes (PPNs), referral arrangements, distribution, disclosure and registration of fund managers. The notice sets out the CSA's views on how those areas will be monitored or improved.
