Uneven Sales Environment Across the Provinces

In times of both positive and negative sales, mutual fund net flows and asset growth tend to be unevenly distributed across Canada’s regional markets. Reasons abound, ranging from the health of the regional economies and the structure and the supply of financial services to the specific preferences of investors and advisors in each province.

The current issue of Insight looks at the growth of mutual funds in different provincial markets and trends in the sale of fund and deposit products, in addition to company rankings within each jurisdiction. The Trendlines article at the end of this reports reviews the development and growth of ETF series of mutual funds.
