Empowering Canada’s investment industry
The Securities and Investment Management Association (SIMA) powers a thriving, resilient Canadian investment sector that fuels economic growth, fosters innovation, and creates greater financial opportunities for investors and savers across Canada.
“Don’t bet on it”
A study in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) highlights the mounting exposure of Canadian youth to gambling ads, particularly those promoting sports betting. “Protecting Canada’s youth from the risks of exposure to gambling advertising” warns that unchecked marketing poses a significant public health risk to young people and says urgent regulatory action is needed to mitigate harm.
Canada’s private retirement savings plan
Canadians have become increasingly reliant on private savings to fund retirement. But saving has never been harder, and public policy hasn’t kept pace with that reality. That’s why SIMA developed a retirement savings action plan to help address the gap.
