Canada’s ETF industry continues to evolve, and over the past month, we’ve seen strong interest in international trade and equities, highlighting a growing appetite for global diversification. In particular, there’s been a notable rise in active ETFs, with investors increasingly drawn to their flexibility and potential for outperformance. Recent market activity, including a rally in U.S. equities, has sparked conversations around concentration risk and portfolio construction. Joining today's episode to unpack what’s driving ETF flows, how Fidelity is adapting, and what investors should be watching in the months ahead, is Étienne Joncas-Bouchard, Fidelity’s Director of ETF and Alternative Strategy.
