About the Team:
Through a centralized approach to global compliance, AGF ensures that each registered entity in its group of companies has the appropriate compliance framework and program in place to manage overall regulatory risk. The compliance team is responsible for developing, implementing and reporting on the global compliance program. Although specific regulatory obligations vary by jurisdiction, in principle they address similar requirements and have similar risk implications. As such, while each AGF entity maintains its own specific policies and procedures tailored to its specific business, process and jurisdictional regulatory requirements and risks, efforts are made to align all AGF entities’ policies and procedures where possible.
Promote effective use of technology in the ongoing oversight of portfolio compliance and support the partnering with investment management to achieve business goals through the provision of innovative support and advice, relevant and timely reporting and generally positively contribute to desired outcomes.
