Implementation of the TTSEC Enhanced RBS Framework
The Trinidad and Tobago Securities and Exchange Commission completed impact and risk assessments for all 53 registrants under Section 51(1) of the Securities Act, Chapter 83:02. Based on these assessments, the regulator developed a biennial supervisory plan which its Compliance and Inspections Division has initiated, meaning registrants can expect to be engaged accordingly. Individualized and market reports summarizing the assessment results and observations are being prepared and will be made available to the registrants.

CIRCULAR LETTER ISSUED TO:
BROKER-DEALERS, INVESTMENT ADVISERS AND UNDERWRITERS REGISTERED UNDER SECTION 51(1) OF THE SECURITIES ACT, CHAP 83:02
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION’S ENHANCED RISK-BASED SUPERVISION FRAMEWORK
In June 2023, the Trinidad and Tobago Securities and Exchange Commission (the “TTSEC”) implemented its enhanced Risk-Based Supervision Framework. By way of Circular Letter dated July 4, 2023, the TTSEC requested registered entities under Section 51(1) of the Securities Act, Chapter 83:02 of the Laws of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago (“registrants”) to electronically submit a Risk Assessment Questionnaire and Request for Information Template with data as at June 30, 2023. The information collected was an input for the TTSEC’s risk assessment tool.
The impact and risk assessments of all 53 registrants were completed. The TTSEC was able to glean insights into registrants’ significant business activities and assess their impact and risks posed to the market. Based on the results of the assessments, the TTSEC developed its biennial supervisory plan. The TTSEC’s Compliance and Inspections Division has initiated this plan and registrants can expect to be engaged accordingly. In addition, the TTSEC has prepared individualised and market reports which summarise the results and observations of the assessments. The relevant reports will be made available to registrants.
We take this opportunity to thank the registrants and other stakeholders for their support. The TTSEC shall re-engage the market regarding these assessments in 2025 and hope to continue the collaborative effort in the mitigation of systemic risk.
Regards,
Kester Guy
Chief Executive Officer
