CIRO’s 2026 Annual Priorities
Annual Priorities provide our members, investors and other industry stakeholders with a preview of upcoming CIRO initiatives. By publishing these priorities our aim is to build accountability and transparency while fostering awareness of our work this year, so our stakeholders can engage meaningfully with CIRO.
CIRO’s Annual Priorities are grounded in our commitment to deliver efficient and effective regulation, our duty to continuously improve and evolve as the industry changes, and our goal to close gaps, and to reduce duplication and complexity in the system.
We are the pan-Canadian self-regulatory organization that oversees all investment dealers, mutual fund dealers, and trading activity on Canada’s debt and equity marketplaces.
Our mission is to promote healthy capital markets by regulating fairly and effectively so that investors are protected and confident investing in their futures.
Our vision is to be an agile and trusted regulator—helping the industry deliver the right financial outcomes for investors.
