International Fund Manager Distribution Services

International fund managers not registered in Canada require an Exempt Market Dealer (EMD) to market and distribute their funds in Canada in reliance on a prospectus exemption, or as a private placement basis.

ICG acts as a placement agent for international fund managers seeking to distribute securities to Accredited Investors and Permitted Clients (including Institutional Investors and Family Offices) in Canada.

ICG will perform the following functions for the international fund manager:

• Completion of identity verification and Know Your Client (KYC) requirements under Anti-Money Laundering (AML) securities laws.
• Verification of Accredited Investor and / or Permitted Client status.
• Suitability waiver (Permitted Clients) or suitability analysis.
• Gather and provide information required for the manager’s post transaction Exempt Trade Report (form 45-106F1) filings with securities regulators.
