Equity ETFs bounce back

In February 2015, exchange-traded products listed in Canada saw net inflows of US$1.2 billion, says ETFGI’s monthly ETP report for February.

Equity funds gathered the largest net inflows, with US$743 million. They were followed most closely by fixed income funds at US$290 million, and commodity funds at US$29 million.

The top 100 ETPs in Canada, out of a total 355, account for 85% of the country’s ETF assets. Only 12 funds have greater than US$1 billion in assets, while more than 200 have less than US$100 million.
