As communicated by email on September 19, 2024, following the recent launch of the purchase option by electronic funds transfer (EFT) deposit in nominee accounts, we experienced temporary issues with this new functionality. 

As such, we are pleased to inform you that the issues have been resolved. We apologize again for any inconvenience caused.

We would like to inform you that we are currently experiencing a technical issue with the display of market values for certain guaranteed investment certificates (“GICs”) in Investia nominee accounts.

More specifically, the various reports generated from Univeris may display an incorrect market value for GICs that have been internally transferred between two Investia nominee plans.

We would like to remind all those who have paid this year’s Client Administrative Fees on behalf of their clients that the 2^nd charge will be made on October 10, which will be reflected in your pay deposited on Thursday, October 17.

We are pleased to announce the update of our mandatory training on anti-money laundering (AML) and anti-terrorist financing (ATF), now available on Investia Learning.
