Investor Alert:
CIRO is warning investors about a fraud scheme where fraudsters, linked to a company called TopFirstGroup, falsely claim that IIROC and CIRO require investors to make border fee payments to release funds held at a financial institution under CIRO’s name.
To protect investors and ensure the integrity of markets in Canada, CIRO sets, monitors and enforces rules that apply to firms that are in the business of advising clients on or trading in securities in Canada.
We also monitor all debt and equity trading for compliance with CIRO rules and other applicable requirements. CIRO also accesses M-X listed derivative data to specifically monitor for cross-asset trading conduct.
We further support the industry by providing market information, including publishing BA Rates, Corporate and Government Bond information, and other reports and statistics.
