Stableview Asset Management Inc., Stableview Yield & Growth Fund, Stableview Progressive Growth Fund, Stableview Insight Fund LP and Stableview Insight Fund GP Inc. (collectively, the “Stableview Group”)

Stableview Asset Management Inc., Stableview Yield & Growth Fund, Stableview Progressive Growth Fund, Stableview Insight Fund LP and Stableview Insight Fund GP Inc. (collectively, the “Stableview Group”), a Toronto, Ontario-based financial asset management firm, was placed into receivership on June 9 on application by the Ontario Securities Commission (the "OSC"). In January 2019, an OSC compliance review found that the Stableview Group — along with its sole director and officer — engaged in conduct that breached the Securities Act in a number of fundamental ways, including causing the funds to become significantly over-concentrated in investments of a penny stock named Clarocity Corp. Although Clarocity's financial circumstances deteriorated during the period the Stableview Group invested in the company, Stableview continued to direct investments into Clarocity. The investments subsequently caused the funds to breach their investment restrictions. As a result of these breaches, in November 2019, the OSC imposed conditions on the Stableview Group's registrations with the OSC, including trading and financial restrictions as well as prohibitions on redemptions without approval. Since those steps were taken, however, the OSC alleges that the Stableview Group and its sole director and officer continue to engage in misconduct. A receivership proceeding was initiated in an attempt to protect investors' interests while investigation and enforcement efforts continue. Grant Thornton was appointed receiver and manager. Counsel is Chaitons for the receiver and Wright Temelini for the Stableview Group.
