OSC Rule 32-506

(Commodity Futures Act)

Exemptions for International Dealers, Advisers and Sub-advisers

On October 17, 2022, Ontario Securities Commission Rule 32-506 (Commodity Futures Act) Exemptions for International Dealers, Advisers and Sub-Advisers (OSC Rule 32-506) came into force.

OSC Rule 32-506 is a regulatory burden reduction initiative and codifies relief that was, until recently, routinely granted by the Commission under the Commodity Futures Act (Ontario) (the CFA) to international dealers, international advisers and international sub-advisers (collectively, international firms).

OSC Rule 32-506 codifies exemptive relief for international firms in order to

  • enhance institutional investor access to international options and futures markets and thereby reduce regulatory costs for such investors, and
  • reduce regulatory burden by eliminating the need for international firms to file applications for exemptive relief.

The full text of OSC Rule 32-506 is available in the Ontario Securities Commission’s Bulletin at (2022), 45 OSCB 8727 and on the Commission’s website at www.osc.ca.
