Deposit insurance fund

The AMF maintains a deposit insurance fund to ensure the performance of its guarantee obligation and to enable it to exercise special powers. Premiums collected are allocated to this fund, as are any amounts the Minister of Finance may pay into it. The AMF may invest the sums making up the deposit insurance fund with the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec.

Should the fund lack sufficient financial resources, the Minister of Finance may make advances to the AMF out of the consolidated revenue fund or guarantee the payment of AMF’s obligations.

Further details on the deposit insurance fund are available in the AMF's most recent annual report.
