New Insurance Requirements

The key take-away is how you define “handle, hold, or have access to”, as that is the trigger point for the higher insurance requirements. In the absence of this trigger, the required limit can be as low as $50,000, which is what it is now.

If they are deemed to have Custody over client funds, the highest of the following applies:

• 1% of the Adviser’s AUM or $25M, whichever is less.

• 1% of the Adviser’s Total Assets or $25M, whichever is less.

• $200,000.

• An amount as determined by the BOD of the Adviser.

New Insurance Requirements

How do you define “Custody”?

Impossible to give a definitive answer as that’s up to the provincial securities commissions to make a determination, but the NI 31-103 Companion Policy does give some guidance.

Facts:Noram registered under Ontario Securities Act as Investment Counsel Portfolio Manager.Willman was principal and directing mind of Noram.Plaintiffs (included 3 retired couples with no significant experience as investors) retained Noram as their PM and opened discretionary portfolio managed accounts.Signed Standard Wrap Agreements - required Willman to invest plaintiffs’ capital conservatively in government bonds, corporate bonds and debentures.Willman’s investment strategy floundered; invested all of the plaintiffs’ funds in convertible bonds and debentures.Plaintiffs’ accounts deteriorated; sued Willman and Noram for breach of fiduciary duty.

I. Liability of Investment Counsel/ Portfolio Manager

Admissions to the OSC:

Willman and Noram improperly managed portfolios, failed to deal fairly, honestly and in good faith with their clients, did not act in the best interests of clients and acted contrary to prudent business practice.

Willman failed to take adequate steps to ensure that securities bought and sold on behalf of clients and that Noram’s overall investment strategy were suitable or appropriate in view of the clients’ net worth, income, investment knowledge and experience and investment objectives and employment/retirement status.

Willman failed to disclose the risks involved in his intended investment strategy to his clients.

OSC terminated Noram’s and Willman’s registrations and imposed a permanent prohibition from trading securities.

I. Liability of Investment Counsel/ Portfolio Manager

Civil Liability:

Cumming J. reviewed the regulatory regime for Investment CounselPortfolio Managers and the duties of registrants to “know the client” and ensure investment recommendations are appropriate.

Wrap Agreements specified the plaintiffs’ investment objectives and limited permissible investments.

Willman was aware of the ages and circumstances of the plaintiffs when they signed the Wrap Agreements and that they were risk-adverse.

I. Liability of Investment Counsel/ Portfolio Manager

Cumming J. held that a fiduciary relationship existed between Willman and his clients:

Willman was their financial advisor.

Trust and confidence were placed in him as financial advisor; Willman knew this.

Plaintiffs were unsophisticated investors; relied entirely upon his skills and knowledge.

Willman acted in his sole discretion in making their investments through discretionary managed accounts.

Plaintiffs were vulnerable and relied upon him to act in their best interests; Willman was aware of their reliance.

As a fiduciary, Willman was obliged to exercise care, skill and diligence with respect to transactions on behalf of Noram’s clients:

Required to assess and monitor suitability of the client for type and scale of trade and ensure client not exposed to undue risk of capital loss.

PM must act in accordance with the investment objectives set out in its agreement with the investor.

I. Liability of Investment Counsel/ Portfolio Manager

Willman also owed duty of care to provide the standard of care required of an investment advisor.

PM has a duty to advise. This duty is not simply an obligation to inform but requires directed information “designed to guide its recipient toward a decision consistent with his interest”.

Duty to ensure that the client is fully informed as to all material matters relevant to his/her investment portfolio; non-disclosure is a breach of this duty.

Certain factual situations can give rise to a duty to warn the client of the risks of that action.

Failure of a fiduciary to disclose information about a risk can result in liability if the failure to disclose denied the client the opportunity to avoid losses.

I. Liability of Investment Counsel/ Portfolio Manager

Found Willman breached his fiduciary duty and did not meet the standard of care required of a PM:

No real discussion of risk tolerance with plaintiffs when account opened.

No discussion as to risk tolerance on an ongoing basis.

No meaningful discussions with clients regarding inherent dangers and risks of margin.

Improperly managed the plaintiffs’ portfolios.

Investments were inappropriate given the plaintiffs’ stated investment objectives.

Made misleading statements to the plaintiffs in respect of their investments.

Willman personally liable for breach of fiduciary duty and negligence.

Noram was vicariously liable for unlawful acts of Willman.

I. Liability of Investment Counsel/ Portfolio Manager

Damages:

Damages for breach of fiduciary duty will include both capital losses and damages for loss of opportunity.

Willman and Noram jointly and severally liable to compensate the plaintiffs for all of their investment losses based on the valuator’s calculations.

Independent Valuator calculated plaintiffs’ damages as the difference between the reasonably expected value of the money they invested with Noram, given their expressed investment objectives, and that actual value of their investments due to the alleged breach of duty by Noram and Willman.

used the Scotia Capital Universe Bond Index to determine what reasonably expected values were

Plaintiffs did not fail to mitigate their damages.

Punitive damages were not appropriate in this case, however given the breach of fiduciary duty and management of the plaintiffs’ investment portfolios, costs were awarded on a substantial indemnity basis.
