The CSF

The mission of the Chambre de la sécurité financière is to protect the public by ensuring its members’ integrity and professionalism. As such, it oversees the professional development, ethics and discipline of advisors, many of whom practice in more than one discipline related to personal finance. This model for multidisciplinary supervision, unique in Canada, enables the CSF to provide optimal oversight of professionals.

Who are we?

The role of the CSF is essential to ensuring public confidence in financial services. In a complex and constantly evolving sector, where decisions made by consumers can have a major impact on their financial future, it is crucial that professionals act with competence, integrity and ethics.

History of the CSF

In 1905, insurance representatives created the first group aimed at encouraging good business practices among its members. From then on, the associations succeeded one another to become the trustworthy and innovative self-regulatory organization we know today: the Chambre de la sécurité financière.

Laws and regulations

The CSF’s activities and the practice of its members are governed by a number of laws and regulations. The CSF also enforces its own internal rules in order to fulfill its mission of protecting the public.
