 The “Know Your Product” obligation requires that Dealing Representatives understand all the products they purchase, sell or recommend for their clients, including their structure, features, risks, costs and suitability. Rehan has fulfilled this obligation by reviewing the features of the Hedge Fund and explaining them to Georgi, who may not be aware of the lock-up period and its implications. The other Dealing Representatives have failed to fulfill their obligation by either not knowing or not disclosing important information about the products they deal with.

The right of withdrawal is a statutory right that allows investors to cancel their purchase order of mutual funds within a specified period of time and receive a refund of the amount they paid. The right of withdrawal is also known as the cooling-off period or the rescission right. The right of withdrawal for investors can be different depending on which province (or territory) the fund was purchased within, as each jurisdiction has its own securities legislation and regulations that govern the mutual fund industry. For example, in Ontario, the right of withdrawal is two business days after receiving the simplified prospectus or the fund facts document, whichever is later1. In Quebec, the right of withdrawal is two business days after receiving the simplified prospectus or confirmation of purchase, whichever is later2. In British Columbia, the right of withdrawal is 48 hours after receiving confirmation of purchase3. Therefore, Mariana may still be able to exercise her right of withdrawal, depending on where she bought her mutual funds and when she received the required documents. References:

 A portfolio with a beta less than 1 would be suitable for Gregory, who is a conservative investor and wants to reduce his exposure to market risk. A beta less than 1 means that the portfolio is less volatile than the market index and tends to dampen its movements. This implies that the portfolio would fall less than the market in a downturn, but also rise less than the market in an upturn. A portfolio with a beta equal to 1 would move in the same direction and magnitude as the market, while a portfolio with a beta greater than 1 would be more volatile than the market and amplify its movements.
