STATISTICS REPORTING

Month-end industry statistics

SIMA publishes updated month-end industry statistics, typically during the week following the 15th of each month.

Starting with January 2022 data, ETF figures are adjusted to remove double-counting from Canadian-listed ETFs that invest in other Canadian-listed ETFs. When referencing SIMA ETF assets or sales figures from before 2022, please note that the data is not adjusted for ETF-of-ETF double-counting.

SIMA members can access SIMA Stats, our proprietary statistics portal. For data requests or to purchase a data subscription package, please email us.
