Kevan Cowan of Capital Markets Regulatory Authority is part of this year's Wealth Professional Canada's Host List.
Capital Markets Regulatory Authority
A joint initiative between the federal government and BC, Ontario, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, PEI and Yukon, the Capital Markets Regulatory Authority is expected to come to fruition next year. In the meantime, the Capital Markets Authority Implementation Organization is laying the groundwork for the new watchdog, including the appointment of its chief regulator, Kevan Cowan. A former president of TSX Markets and the TSX Venture Exchange, Cowan’s background is in corporate and securities law, making him an ideal choice to lead the new regulatory body. It will be his responsibility to make sure the CMRA is able to carry out its remit of streamlining the capital markets regulatory framework while preserving the strengths of the current system.
