(July 11, 2006) The MFDA Regulatory Committee announced that it will provide an exemption from the no-mixing rule to all Tier 3 and 4 dealer members provided certain conditions are met.

The rule prohibits members from mixing money held for mutual fund transactions with money held in mutual funds to buy and sell other securities or financial instruments, such as GICs and segregated funds.

In the bulletin, the MFDA states that it has determined that granting exemption relief will not harm the interests of its members, their customers or the public. To qualify for this exemption, dealers must also obtain approval from the appropriate securities regulatory authority. Eligible members will be identified in the document that MFDA plans to issue.
