The BCSC, together with other members of the Canadian Securities Administrators and the other members of the Joint Forum of Financial Market regulators, is publishing for comment proposed Guidelines for Capital Accumulation Plans.
In these guidelines, the term capital accumulation plans refers to investment vehicles established by employers or plan sponsors for the benefit of their employees or plan members that permit those employees or members to make investment decisions. This includes, for example, many defined contribution pension plans, group RRSPs, profit sharing plans, and employer stock purchase plans.
The Joint Forum developed these guidelines after considering the comments we received about our April 27, 2001 publication for comment of the Regulatory Principles for Capital Accumulation Plans.
We are publishing a consultation letter, the proposed guidelines, and a draft implementation plan.
We will accept comments until August 31, 2003.
