Institutional Investors Participation in Recent Equities Market Rally: A Canadian Perspective
April 20, 2009
financial times ft.com | www.ft.com
The major Canadian equities market index, the S&P/TSX Composite Index, is up 5% YTD (up 25% since March 9th, 2009) ; with the overall value traded down 27%, and volume up roughly 18% compared with the same period last year on a year-over-year basis. The number of transactions is up 26% YTD vs. the same period last year. The TSX Venture exchange (which consists of micro and small capitalization companies) is up 24% YTD. The consensus among institutional investors in Canada, as elsewhere around the globe, remains divided. A few things likely need to occur before the majority of the naysayers move toward the other camp, such as; a visible and sustainable improvement in the global economy, a broad-based recovery in corporate earnings, a steady and meaningful increase in the prices of commodities, a slowdown or reversal in the recent rate of increase in the unemployment rate, more balanced conditions in the housing market, and a significant positive shift in consumer confidence.
