Fidelity Investments Canada has launched a suite of factor-based ETFs and mutual funds for financial advisors and individual investors. Launching these products as ETFs and mutual funds enables them to be made available to both IIROC and MFDA advisors.
Fidelity’s six new factor-based ETFs are now trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX).
“Since we announced we are launching our factor-based investing ETFs and mutual funds, we’ve had great interest from financial advisors and investors,” says Rob Strickland, President, Fidelity Investments Canada ULC. “With today’s aging demographic, we know one of the big demands in the marketplace is the need to generate income from investments. Our new Fidelity Dividend Factor ETFs and mutual funds are intelligently designed to deliver exactly that – monthly income.”
