Members must have extensive experience in their respective fields and a solid understanding of investment product regulation.
The AMF seeks to have a Committee composed of members representing manufacturers and distributors of the above investment products in particular, as well as investor advocates. It also wants to ensure that members reflect the various business models within Québec’s investment sector.
Committee members are appointed for a maximum three-year term. This term of office may be extended in accordance with conditions determined by the AMF. The Committee meets three to six times annually and members are not remunerated for their participation.
Profile sought In order to maintain the appropriate representation of expertise, the AMF is especially interested in applicants who have extensive experience in investment fund creation and management, portfolio management or alternative asset management. Persons wishing to join the Committee should consult the call for applications. The deadline for applications is September 4, 2020.
