About

Investment Dealers and their Approved Persons are gatekeepers to the capital markets, given that they manage the point of entry for both investors and issuers.

Being a gatekeeper carries important regulatory responsibilities. Gatekeepers must act in the best interests of the capital markets by taking action when observing activity that may threaten market integrity. However, in recent years one of the most common causes for the regulatory discipline of Investment Dealers and Approved Persons is a result of failing to uphold their gatekeeper responsibilities.
