IFIC Releases Updated Fund Volatility Risk Classification Guidelines
June 28, 2016
Toronto, ON - June 28, 2016 - The Investment Funds Institute of Canada (IFIC) today released its updated Voluntary Guidelines for Fund Managers Regarding Fund Volatility Risk Classification, (https://www.ific.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/IFIC-Fund-Risk-Classification-Guidelines-June-2016-data-updated-to-Dec.-31-2015.pdf/14496/).These guidelines were developed in 2003 by a group of IFIC members – the Fund Risk Classification Task Force – to provide mutual fund managers with a consistent approach to the measurement and description of fund volatility risk. The guidelines have been updated annually.
Current regulatory disclosure requirements require fund managers to publish each individual fund’s risk; however, the regulations do not define risk. IFIC has been releasing the guidelines publicly since 2014 in order to ensure that all stakeholders have ready access to the methodology most commonly used by the industry.
The French version of the 2016 guidelines will be released shortly.
