The new board of directors of the Federation of Mutual Fund Dealers has announced what it describes as a “new direction, vision, mission and purpose.”

“The Vision of the Federation is to be the representative voice of mutual fund distribution in Canada. The Mission is to ensure the viability and prosperity of this vital channel of distribution….The Purpose is to provide the forum for all stakeholders; be the advocate for our members; and work with members to provide support through education, awareness and best practices,” a press release explains.

“With our Vision, Mission and Purpose firmly in mind, and after having canvassed our Membership, we have identified our priorities for the balance of this year and are anxious to get to work,” says Sandra Kegie, executive director at the Federation.

The FMFD also plans to “share its direction with other trade associations with a view to bolstering the advocacy of common initiatives, and will continue to consult with various regulatory bodies in Canada in order to raise the awareness of Member priorities and concerns. At the same time the Federation will be working to provide its Members with operational best practices tools and information, access to subject matter experts and benchmarking dealer structures just to name a few.”
