About This Course

Welcome to "Mastering Total Cost Reporting: New Requirements for 2026." This course is meticulously designed for financial professionals, compliance officers, and investment fund managers navigating the comprehensive overhaul of cost disclosure regulations in Canada, effective January 1, 2026. This pivotal shift, colloquially termed CRM3, expands upon the CRM2 framework by mandating absolute transparency in all investment-related costs.

By the end of this course, you will be equipped to:

  • Understand the regulatory amendments from National Instrument 31-103 to the Individual Variable Insurance Contract Ongoing Disclosure Guidance.
  • Differentiate between CRM2 and Total Cost Reporting (TCR) requirements, especially concerning embedded fees.
  • Accurately calculate and report the Management Expense Ratio (MER), Trading Expense Ratio (TER), and the aggregated Fund Expense Ratio (FER).
  • Prepare for the operational "go-live" on January 1, 2026, including data capture, system upgrades, and reporting timelines for the first annual reports in 2027.
  • Interpret the role of the Total Cost Reporting Implementation Committee, CIRO amendments, and the implications for U.S. investment firms.
  • Leverage new data for enhanced client transparency and informed decision-making, moving beyond price to true value assessment.

Through detailed modules exploring the regulatory evolution, scope, calculation methodologies, and operational imperatives, this program will guide you in mastering the transition to full transparency required by the Total Cost Reporting regime.
