The Autorité des marchés financiers issues a general decision granting exemptions from specific training and surveillance obligations under Regulation 81-104 for individuals restricted to alternative mutual funds and their designated supervisors. This exemption allows these individuals to satisfy requirements by passing specific transitional courses offered by the Canadian Securities Institute or IFSE Institute, thereby facilitating investor access to alternative strategies. The decision is effective January 28, 2021, subject to conditions including broker approval of fund sales and prior notification to the Autorité.
