TORONTO, Jan. 17, 2023 /CNW/ - The newly formed New Self-Regulation Organization of Canada (New SRO) today announced the creation of an Investor Advisory Panel (IAP), which will advise the New SRO on regulatory matters and issues of public interest.

A call for applications was made by MFDA and IIROC in October 2022 and the independent members of the New SRO Advisory Committee (comprised of members of the New SRO Board of Directors) selected the Panel in December 2022. In order to ensure broad and diverse representation, the IAP selection process included consideration of panelist's backgrounds, experience, expertise, and geographic representation.

 "We are pleased to have such an accomplished and qualified group of individuals join the Investor Advisory Panel," said Andrew Kriegler, President and CEO, New SRO. "Their insights and guidance will be invaluable as we work to fulfill our mission of protecting investors."

IAP Members have been appointed for a minimum term of two years and will meet regularly to advise the New SRO in the development of regulatory policy, annual priorities, strategic plans and other regulatory initiatives that protect investor interests and promote investor confidence in the securities marketplace.
