The securities regulatory authorities in Canada issued Regulation 81-102 to establish comprehensive rules governing the operation, disclosure, and conduct of investment funds. The regulation defines key terms such as mutual funds, alternative mutual funds, and derivatives, while setting specific requirements for asset allocation, borrowing, hedging, and the use of cash equivalents. It further mandates compliance with standards for custodians, portfolio advisers, and independent review committees to ensure investor protection and market integrity.
