Transfer of investment funds or investment fund groups between investment fund managers

IMPORTANT: For investment fund(s) or investment fund groups that do not have a current investment fund manager shown on their profile, please contact the CSA Service Desk for assistance with the transfer.

You can transfer one ‘stand-alone’ investment fund (a fund that does not belong to an investment fund group) or one investment fund group from the current investment fund manager to another investment fund manager. The transfer is initiated by the current investment fund manager and is then reviewed and confirmed by the recipient investment fund manager. The following steps describe how the transfer can be done:

1. You must be logged in as an Authorized Super User who has authority to initiate the transfer of the investment fund(s) or investment fund group between different investment fund managers.

2. Go to the investment fund profile and, in the ‘Actions’ section, select ‘Request transfer of investment fund’ or ‘Request transfer of investment fund group.’ The recipient investment fund manager must exist in SEDAR+ prior to initiating the transfer.

3. Click the ‘Request transfer’ button on the ‘Before you get started’ page, and provide the details required for the transfer. The ‘Submit’ button appears once you search for an investment fund manager.

4. Once the request to transfer is submitted, the recipient investment fund manager receives an email to confirm the transfer. The email includes a link back to SEDAR+ which, after login, allows the investment fund manager to accept or reject the transfer.

5. Once reviewed and confirmed by the recipient investment fund manager, the system updates the details of the investment fund manager on the profile. The current investment fund manager receives an email advising their request was accepted and the investment fund(s) or investment fund group shows under the ‘investment funds’ tab of the recipient investment fund manager. The investment funds(s) or investment fund group will no longer show under the ‘investment funds’ tab of the previous investment fund manager.
