Depending on their mandate, these funds may invest in equities, fixed income, commodities, and alternatives. However, equities and bonds are the most common asset classes. These funds cover a wide range of stocks across all sectors of the market as well as market caps and share classes. They can be indexed or actively managed. The Canadian economy, the world’s 8th largest by nominal Gross Domestic Product as of 2022, is characterized by a heavy reliance on consumption, trade with the United States, and the production of natural resources. Investment as a share of GDP was 28.9% as of 2022, well above its long-run average of approximately 22% going back to 1961. Motor vehicles, industrial machinery, and commodities are key exports. As a developed market economy, Canada focused mutual funds and ETFs are often purchased by conservative-minded investors. Last Updated: 12/24/2024 View more View less
