About FAIR Canada
The mission of FAIR Canada is to be a national voice for investors in securities regulation and a catalyst for enhancing the rights of Canadian shareholders and individual investors.
WHO WE ARE
The Canadian Foundation for Advancement of Investor Rights [Fondation pour l'avancement des droits des investisseurs] (FAIR Canada) is an independent national non-profit agency.
FAIR Canada will seek to advance the interests of investors and the integrity and fairness of Canadian capital markets, among other things, by:
- making submissions to securities regulators, stock exchanges, government and other bodies on priorities, policy, legislative change and enforcement to advance the interests of investors;
- proactively identifying emerging issues that affect investors and seeking reform to mitigate harm to investors; and
- identifying actual conduct by issuers, registered persons and other market participants that is, or may be detrimental to, investors and, where appropriate, encouraging action to enhance investor rights and protections.
FAIR Canada is independent of government, regulators and the financial industry. Its purpose is to be a pro-active voice representing Canadian individual or retail investors in securities regulation with a particular focus on shareholder rights.
Investors rely on their investments in the Canadian equity markets for their financial security in retirement. With the shift to defined contribution plans, individuals rely even more on the performance of the equity markets for financial security in retirement.
