The Investment Fund Survey (IFS) is an annual survey sent to more than 400 investment fund managers (IFMs) registered in Ontario to collect data on approximately 5,700 prospectus-qualified and exempt investment funds with at least $10 million in net assets. The collection of such data will allow for more comprehensive oversight of the Canadian investment fund industry and delivers on the OSC’s mandate of contributing to the stability of the financial system.

Each year the annual data from the IFS is shared by:

• providing aggregated survey data as a downloadable CSV file on a no-names basis, and
• publishing charts that allow stakeholders to see certain insights from the data.

This data is shared to promote greater transparency, in a manner that protects IFM confidentiality. This information will be updated annually as new data is received from IFMs.
