The update addresses insider reporting requirements for transactions in investment funds, structured notes, ADRs, and CDRs—all investment products requiring disclosure and compliance oversight by market participants.
Low confidence — REQUIRES HUMAN REVIEW. While equities (underlying securities) are referenced, the primary focus is on derivative instruments and structured products rather than direct equity trading or settlement.
Specialism
The update directly addresses insider reporting requirements and the obligation to report transactions in derivative instruments referencing underlying securities, which is core market abuse and insider trading regulation.
Mandatory inheritance: Market Abuse/Market Conduct is a child of Supervision, so Supervision must be raised as the secondary tag.

TITLE: Canadian Securities Administrators Publishes Proposed Amendment to Insider Reporting Requirements
BODY:
On April 9, 2026, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) published a notice and request for comment on a proposed amendment to Part 9 of National Instrument 55-104 Insider Reporting Requirements and Exemptions.
The proposed amendment aims to clarify the insider reporting regime applicable to transactions involving investment funds and certain structured products, including structured notes, American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), and Canadian Depositary Receipts (CDRs), that are based on securities of the reporting insider's reporting issuer. The amendment addresses gaps in the current insider reporting framework to ensure that transactions in these derivative instruments are properly captured and reported by insiders. This clarification is significant for market participants, as it establishes clearer guidance on reporting obligations for complex financial instruments that reference underlying securities of the reporting issuer. The CSA, which coordinates and harmonizes regulation for Canada's capital markets across the country's provinces and territories, is seeking stakeholder feedback to ensure the proposed amendment reflects market needs and operational practicality.
The 60-day comment period closes on June 8, 2026. Stakeholders are encouraged to submit comments using the method set out in the notice, which is available on CSA members' websites. Following the consultation period, the CSA is expected to review submissions and publish guidance on the final amendment.
