The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) is the statutory body responsible for regulating Ontario’s capital markets in accordance with the mandate established in the provincial Securities Act and the Commodity Futures Act. The mandate of the OSC is to provide protection to investors from unfair, improper or fraudulent practices, to foster fair, efficient and competitive capital markets and confidence in the capital markets, to foster capital formation, and to contribute to the stability of the financial system and the reduction of systemic risk. This mandate is performed through policy, operational, adjudication and enforcement work. The OSC also contributes to national and global securities regulation development.

The OSC is the only securities regulator in Canada with a dedicated Investor Office aimed at achieving better investor outcomes. The Investor Office works to strengthen the OSC’s efforts in investor engagement, research, education and outreach. The Investor Office also brings investor perspectives to the organization and contributes to policy development. To support this work, the Investor Office uses research and behavioural science to test policy proposals and explore how emerging capital market trends are affecting retail investors.
