The Filer, 1832 Asset Management L.P., applied to the Ontario Securities Commission for exemptive relief on behalf of existing and future mutual and pooled funds.
The requested relief sought to exempt the funds from related party prohibitions under the Securities Act, permitting them to invest in non-exchange traded debt securities and exchange-traded securities issued by related parties.
The application was prompted by an internal reorganization of the Filer's asset management business, which necessitated the revocation and replacement of previous relief decisions.
The Commission granted the requested relief, subject to extensive conditions regarding pricing, independent review committee approval, and limits on the concentration of purchases.
