OSC seeks applications for Investor Advisory Panel

TORONTO, May 18, 2023 /CNW/ - The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) is inviting applications for membership on its independent Investor Advisory Panel (IAP), which provides an investor perspective on policy, rule-making and other regulatory initiatives.

The IAP advises and comments on proposed rules, policies and investor protection initiatives, while considering the views of a broad range of investors through consultation with investors and organizations representing investors.

The IAP is an important voice for investors in the regulatory process, and new members will be selected to ensure that the panel continues to:

• represent a broad range of relevant experience, skills, knowledge and investor and other perspectives;
• fulfill its mandate; and
• operate productively as a collaborative team.

Some IAP member terms have been completed or are ending over the coming year. New members will be appointed to staggered terms beginning at different points throughout the year depending on when vacancies arise.

Members are appointed for terms of up to two years and will be compensated for their time in meeting the IAP's mandate.

A selection committee consisting of the OSC's Chief Executive Officer and two Executive Directors will interview short-listed candidates and appoint the new members. For information on the Investor Advisory Panel's activities, please see Investor Advisory Panel at www.osc.ca.

Interested parties are invited to submit their resume indicating their relevant experience by Thursday, June 15. Applications and questions regarding the IAP can be addressed to:
