Stan Magidson, Chair/CEO of ASC, New Chair, CSA
As I step into the role of CSA Chair, I look forward to working with my colleagues across Canada to deliver the initiatives in our 2022-2025 Business Plan and to building on the established strength and stability of the CSA. We will continue to collaborate to deliver on our goals and our mandate to protect investors, promote fair, transparent and efficient markets, reduce burden where possible, and reduce systemic risk.
In addition to these goals, the CSA will also continue its efforts to modernize the self-regulatory framework, establish the CSA Investor Advisory Panel, and consider investor calls for enhanced market participation related to sustainable finance matters.
The new business plan includes projects focused on modernizing electronic filings and data management, as well as raising awareness and increasing protection around emerging issues and threats such as crypto assets, investment gamification and do-it-yourself (DIY) investing. The plan also considers the impact of climate change-related risks and sustainable investing, and the impact of different age demographics, such as the increase in millennial investors and an aging population.
