MSC TRANSFERS REGISTRATION DUTIES FOR INVESTMENT DEALERS
AND MUTUAL FUND DEALER FIRMS TO CIRO
WINNIPEG – October 1, 2025 – The Manitoba Securities Commission (MSC), a division of the Manitoba Financial Services Agency (MFSA), has assigned certain registration responsibilities to the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO) as of today.
This change is part of a national effort to make the registration process simpler and more efficient for firms. It follows the Canadian Securities Administrators’ (CSA) plan to reduce regulatory burden and provide a single, centralized registration process for certain market participants.
By assigning these functions, MSC joins most other provincial regulators in streamlining registration for Investment Dealer Firms and Mutual Fund Dealer Firms.
The Assignment Order and a FAQ is available on the MFSA website concerning the assignment of functions. Order; FAQ
