The Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) is encouraging investors to use its free online service, AdvisorReport, to do background checks when selecting an advisor as part of Fraud Prevention Month.
IIROC’s AdvisorReport is a popular and easily-accessible online tool that allows investors to research the background, qualifications and disciplinary information on advisors with whom they choose to work. It is another useful resource to help investors be better informed and conduct “due diligence” on their IIROC-regulated investment advisors.
Also, this month, over 250,000 IIROC bookmarks are being distributed throughout libraries across the country to raise awareness about this important service.
