President and chair
CSA
Since 2015, Louis Morisset has been the president and chair of the Canadian Securities Administrators and president and CEO of Quebec’s Autorité des marchés financiers; he was recently re-elected for another term.
Regulation has such an impact on financial advisors’ day-to-day work, so they need to stay on top of not only their own provincial regulations, but also what is happening nationally. Among the key initiatives Morisset and the CSA worked on in 2020 were establishing a harmonized regulatory system and granting a temporary exemption to allow MFDA dealers to distribute alternative mutual funds.
