The Canadian Investment Funds Standards Committee (CIFSC) today announced that FundSERV Inc. is now represented on the committee by Harry Gundy, Senior Manager, Customer Relations and Business Analysis.
CIFSC’s self-imposed mandate is to create and maintain a single objective, standardized, transparent and consistent set of investment fund categories for the benefit of investors and other participants in the Canadian investment fund industry.
“FundSERV’s focus on B2B connectivity, security and efficiency within the Canadian investment fund industry complements the CIFSC’s mandate to standardize investment fund categories. There is a direct relation to the Electronic Standards Group’s goal of facilitating interoperability of our customers’ systems.”
“FundSERV has been a long-standing, valuable member of CIFSC,” said Ralf Hensel, chair of CIFSC, “and we look forward to working with Harry Gundy. We want to ensure the Committee receives input from a broad spectrum of participants in the investment funds industry, so that issues concerning classification of investment funds are appropriately considered.”
