CIU-4.2.5

To demonstrate compliance with Rule CIU-4.2.4, the CBB would expect to see a written confirmation from each participant, stating that they satisfy the definition of an expert investor or accredited investor (as appropriate) and confirming they understand the higher risks involved in an expert CIU or exempt CIU. The CBB also expects supporting documentation to be kept, demonstrating that the minimum financial assets threshold specified in Rules CIU-B.5.6 and CIU-B.5.10 (as appropriate) has been satisfied, such as copies of bank or broker statements. Where the investor’s initial investment matches or exceeds the threshold, this may by itself be taken as evidence that the client meets the minimum financial asset threshold.
