Canada Asset Management Market Analysis
The Canadian asset management Market has generated a revenue of over USD 4.57 trillion in the current year and is anticipated to register a CAGR of more than 4% for the forecast period.
Certain active categories have generated strong asset growth, like large-cap equity funds, government-focused fixed-income funds, money market funds, and specialized products. Canadian investment managers have been investing in alternatives much before the counterpart countries hopped onto the bandwagon due to low-interest rates and volatile public markets. The fintech market in Canada is also growing at a fast pace, aiding the overall growth of the asset management industry.
Additionally, though the industry has shown its trademark resilience, homegrown leaders continue to feel the pressure of mounting competition, consumer shifts, and rippling impacts of the global pandemic. Big asset managers are looking at expanding into alternatives and low-cost beta products to the point where many players have gone down the route of partnering with a hedge fund or private equity managers on the alpha side and looking into ETF-style platforms on the beta site.
The industry’s relationship with technology has also brightened, even if familiar uncertainties linger. While organizations are becoming more confident and adept in adopting the likes of blockchain, bots, data analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI), reservations persist as to how these resources will pay back their investments and how organizations can mitigate their potential risks. Moreover, considering that there is always a new competitor willing to look beyond these reservations, organizations are feeling the pressure to make a decision or fall behind.
Fixed-income markets were disrupted at the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis. As whole industries temporarily shut down, businesses and households ran down their savings or needed credit to survive income losses. As volatility increased, portfolio managers sold securities to manage their leveraged exposures or meet actual and anticipated margin calls and redemption requests. In financial markets, a substantial part of the demand for money comes from asset managers. Post-COVID-19, the Canadian ETF space reached another all-time high as economic opportunities and risks, along with product innovation, spur continued demand among investors.
