Global Investment Roundtable

(August 2006) Throughout the 1990s, Canadian investors clamoured for more foreign exposure. Let’s think back to why that was.

Partly it had to do with the roller-coaster ride of commodity stocks, as gold and oil settled into cyclical lows. Partly it was the hollowing out of various industrial sectors, as key companies were taken over by foreign investors.

Our panellists look at the value that is here and now — and outside of Canada.
