Equities were the dominant asset class once again, representing 80% of the total new money. Broad market Canadian equity funds saw the highest inflows among the equity asset class, whereas financials and technology sector ETFs recorded net outflows of $195 million and $146 million, respectively.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233279\":true,\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The demand for cash alternative ETFs remained high during the month of February. Horizons Cash Maximizer ETF (\u201cHSAV-T\u201d) recorded the 5<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">th<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> largest inflow among all ETFs in Canada. Meanwhile, Canadian aggregate bonds ETFs had the largest outflow within the fixed income category. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Commodity ETFs had net outflows of $49 million in February, making it the only asset class that has shed assets year to date. Even though precious metal prices have surged in recent weeks amid geopolitical and inflation concerns, investors have shied away from gold and silver bullion ETFs.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233279\":true,\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">During the month, Horizons became Canada\u2019s first ETF provider to launch a carbon credits ETF. The fund provides exposure by investing in carbon credit futures contracts. Carbon credits act as permits issued by regulatory organizations that are designed to offset and cap a participant&#8217;s greenhouse gas emissions. As the trend towards regulating global carbon emissions grows, investors are eyeing the anticipated rising demand and potential diversification benefits from this type of asset class. Ninepoint Partners followed suit and released their own carbon credits ETF, which listed on the NEO exchange.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Two new issuers joined the market in February, bringing the total number of Canadian ETF providers to 42. One of these new players is Evermore Capital Inc., which launched their suite of target date retirement ETFs on the NEO exchange. Depending on each fund objective, the ETF will invest a diversified mix of broad market equity and fixed income ETFs from external providers. As the retirement date approaches, the funds will change their target asset allocation in order to reduce volatility, making this a much more hands-off approach to retirement investing. The Evermore Retirement ETFs charge a direct management fee of 0.35%.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233279\":true,\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Investors who are looking for higher yield in a rising rate environment will be glad to hear that several covered call ETFs were among the latest crop of launches. This strategy involves writing covered call options on a portion of the portfolio securities in order to provide steady income and mitigate downside risk. The Evolve Canadian Banks and Lifecos Enhanced Yield Index ETF (\u201cBANK-T\u201d) and the <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Mulvihill Canadian Bank Enhanced Yield ETF (\u201cCBNK-T\u201d) <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">provide exposure to Canadian banks and insurers, while adding 25% cash leverage to enhance yield and return potential. Meanwhile, the Harvest Diversified Monthly Income ETF (\u201cHDIF-T\u201d) and the Hamilton Enhanced U.S. Covered Call ETF (\u201cHYLD-T\u201d) products invest directly in a mix of U.S. equity covered call ETFs.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233279\":true,\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">First Trust completed the previously announced redesignation of all outstanding advisor class units into common units for the ETFs listed below.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233279\":true,\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":240}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canadian ETFs continued their strong start to 2022 with $3.9 billion in net flows in February.
