Canadian ETF industry keeps growing

The Canadian ETF industry has $84 billion in assets under management, an increase of more than 10% compared to the end of 2014, reports Advisor.ca.

It notes that BMO’s Canadian ETF Outlook report says equity ETFs have accounted for $4.5 billion in inflows, while fixed-income ETFs have accounted for $4.7 billion.
