Do you use, trade or advise about trading options, swaps, forwards or other over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives? Do you want additional information about how the proposed Registration & Business Conduct rules may affect you?
If so, learn about the new derivatives registration and business conduct rules.
On Wednesday, June 27, 2018 Canadian securities regulators presented an overview of both Proposed National Instrument 93-102 Derivatives: Registration and Proposed National Instrument 93-101 Derivatives: Business Conduct . Both proposed rules are open for public comment until September 17, 2018.

They also talked about how you can provide your input on the proposed rules to the regulators.
The session addressed the following:

- How the proposed rules interconnect
- Registration triggers
- Categories of registration
- Obligations under the proposed rules
