About the OSC


Investment Funds Product Advisory Committee


In an environment of rapid product growth and increasingly complex investment fund products, OSC staff recognize the unique perspective market participants may have in identifying and anticipating market and product trends.

The IFPAC advises OSC staff on emerging product developments and innovations occurring in the investment fund industry. The committee discusses the impact of these developments, as well as emerging issues. The IFPAC meets at least four times a year, with members serving two-year terms.

Members are selected based on their involvement in the investment fund industry, their knowledge of product development and their strong interest in related policy considerations.
