Investment Industry Association of Canada (IIAC)

The Investment Industry Association of Canada (IIAC) is a member­based, professional association that advances the growth and development of the Canadian investment industry. IIAC acts as a strong, proactive voice to represent the interests of the investment industry for all market participants.
