By Scott Ronalds
2010 was a good year for both stocks and bonds. Resource-focused and small-cap stocks saw sharp gains, and both the Canadian and U.S. markets turned in double-digit returns. European stocks struggled in comparison, however, due to the well-publicized headwinds in the region (i.e., debt problems).
Bonds were once again popular, as investors were willing to pay a premium for safety and income, although their shine began to fade late in the year as interest rates began to rise. Our clients with a balanced asset mix experienced returns in the 9-10% range for the year, depending on their mix.
In this podcast, we review the performance of our funds and highlight some of the key messages from our Quarterly Report.
