The Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization oversees investment dealers, mutual fund dealers and Canadian debt and equity market trading activity. View Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO)'s website for more information.
The Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization adds a public-interest funder to the financial-literacy and investor-protection ecosystem. As Canada’s national self-regulatory organization for investment dealers, mutual fund dealers and debt and equity market trading, CIRO has a direct mandate to protect investors and strengthen market integrity. Its grant and sponsored-partner activity helps non-profits and charities build tools, outreach and education for people who may be vulnerable to financial harm, including underserved communities, newcomers, seniors, youth and lower-income Canadians. That funding converts enforcement and restricted-fund resources into prevention, awareness and practical education. For the broader ecosystem, CIRO helps shift investor protection from after-the-fact compliance alone toward proactive community delivery.
