 Relationship Disclosure Information (RDI) is a document that provides important information about the nature and scope of the relationship between a registered firm and its clients. It covers topics such as the products and services offered by the firm, the fees and charges applicable to the client’s account, the risks associated with investing, the conflict of interest management policies of the firm, and the dispute resolution services available to the client. According to Section 14.2 of National Instrument 31-103 Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations (NI 31-103), registered firms must provide RDI to their clients before they purchase or sell securities for them or advise them to do so. Registered firms must also update RDI in a timely manner if there are any significant changes to it. To evidence that they have satisfied their RDI obligation, registered firms may retain a copy of the RDI in the client file with detailed notes to confirm that they have provided and explained RDI to their clients. This is one of the acceptable methods suggested by Alberta Securities Commission (ASC) in its presentation on RDI1. Delivering RDI only upon request or using a letter of engagement are not sufficient methods to comply with NI 31-103. Providing and explaining Fund Facts is a separate obligation under NI 31-101 Mutual Fund Distribution Rules.

An asset allocation fund is a type of mutual fund that invests in a combination of cash, fixed income, and equity securities, but has the flexibility to adjust the portfolio according to market conditions and the fund manager’s outlook. The fund manager can change the asset mix to take advantage of opportunities or reduce risks in different asset classes and markets. The fund’s objective is to achieve a balanced risk-return profile by diversifying across different assets and investment styles. Quattro Fund is an example of an asset allocation fund, as it can invest in cash, fixed income, and equity securities, and Louis can adjust the portfolio according to his views on interest rates and the market.
