In which of the following situations would the client mobility exemption apply?
A.
Olaf is a registered dealing representative in Sunnyside, Prince Edward Island. His client Jules is moving to Moncton, New Brunswick. Olaf's mutual fund dealer is not currently registered in New Brunswick but is in the process of applying there.
B.
Sigrid's brother-in-law has agreed to be her client. She is a registered dealing representative in Ottawa, Ontario and he lives in Hull, Quebec. Both Sigrid and her mutual fund dealer are currently registered in Quebec.
C.
Although her mutual fund dealer is registered in all provinces and territories, Lori is only registered as a dealing representative in Saskatchewan. Last year, three of Lori's clients moved to Alberta and now two more are moving to that province. Lori wants to continue servicing these clients.
D.
Karl is a registered dealing representative in Dauphin, Manitoba. 30 of his clients who work for the same company are being relocated to British Columbia. He wants to retain these clients. His mutual fund dealer is registered in British Columbia, but Karl is not.
The Answer Is:
C
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
The client mobility exemption is a provision in the National Instrument 31-103 Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations that allows a registered individual to continue dealing with a client who moves to another jurisdiction without having to register in that jurisdiction, subject to certain conditions. One of the conditions is that the individual must not have more than five clients in each of the other jurisdictions where they are not registered. Therefore, the client mobility exemption would apply to Lori’s situation, as she has five or fewer clients in Alberta, where she is not registered. The client mobility exemption would not apply to the other situations, as they do not meet the conditions for the exemption. For example, Olaf’s mutual fund dealer is not registered in New Brunswick, which is a requirement for the exemption. Sigrid’s brother-in-law is not an existing client who moved to another jurisdiction, but a new client who resides in a different jurisdiction. Karl has more than five clients in British Columbia, where he is not registered, which exceeds the limit for the exemption.
