What are Financial Promotions requirements?
In its strategic planning, the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) emphasizes the importance of effective oversight of firms in their communication and approval of financial promotions as a key activity.
The FSRA guidelines define a financial promotion as an 'invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity'. For firms, this encompasses any communications aimed at promoting their brand, products, or services to persuade customers to make a purchase. All financial promotions must adhere to being fair, clear, and not misleading.
The scope of Financial Promotions requirements includes:
- Web content
- Email marketing
- Social media
- Advertisements on print, online platforms, television, and radio
- Marketing brochures and literature
- Direct mail
- Sales aids, such as presentations
