Insight June 2011 Monthly Update

The June issue of Insight examines the regional landscape of the funds industry in detail, documenting the trends underpinning each local market in terms of asset growth, sales activity and redemptions. We monitor the mid- and long-term views, but pay particular attention to the more recent evolution of the regional markets. Each region across Canada has its distinct economic and demographic characteristics. While each market deviates in one direction or another from the national average, funds are a cornerstone of the investment activities of households, accounting for an overall average of nearly one-third of all financial wealth.
