Each TMD must:

• Describe the target market – provide an outline of the likely objectives that the product can meet including the risk and return objectives, based on the needs of a suitable client profile.
• Provide distribution conditions – detailed information on the conditions or restrictions on the sale of the product.
• Establish reporting requirements – list out the relevant information that must be provided to us by distributors at our required frequency. At a minimum, a distributor must report complaints it receives about the issuer’s product to the issuer, as well as report any significant dealings in the product that are inconsistent with the TMD.
