In a rapidly changing regulatory and client landscape, Canadian wealth firms face a defining moment: will investment suitability remain a checkbox, or become a true driver of client value?

With the introduction of CRM3 and Total Cost Reporting, transparency, robust KYC/KYP processes, and advanced risk profiling have become essential to delivering compliant, client-focused advice. Navigating these demands while maintaining operational efficiency is now a top priority across the industry. 

A new independent study by Canada’s Financial Wellness Lab (FWL) and Ortec Finance explores how 20 Canadian investment firms are responding. The findings reveal how leading organisations are shifting from fragmented, manual processes to more holistic, personalised, and digitally enabled suitability frameworks.
