LEI for Asset Managers in Canada Canada asset managers need an LEI at firm level and at fund level for CSA Multilateral Instrument 96-101 and AIFMD-style reporting. The manager and each reporting fund are distinct legal entities, each with its own LEI.
The management firm holds its own LEI; each fund that is a reporting entity holds one too. Canadian federally-regulated financial institutions (FRFIs), investment funds, pension plans, and chartered banks all meet the LEI at fund level.
TNV-LEI supports bulk issuance, renewal and transfer for Canada fund ranges, with UK time-zone support with overlap into EU and North-America trading hours.
