The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) has opened applications for membership on its Investor Advisory Panel (CSA IAP) to fill two vacancies, as part of its approach to ensuring retail investors’ interests and concerns are considered in policy development. The CSA is seeking broad representation from across Canada, including varied socio-demographic characteristics, experience and personal attributes. It is looking for applicants with skills and experience in areas such as investor or consumer advocacy, professional advice to investors (for example as a lawyer or accountant), household financial advice, understanding technology impacts on retail investors, community-based public policy work relating to Canadians’ financial well-being, or capital-markets and personal-finance research. Members are appointed for terms of up to three years and will be compensated for their time. Resumes outlining relevant experience are due by October 17, 2025, and Ontario residents are encouraged to apply through the Ontario Securities Commission’s periodic application process.
